“The highlights of my journey has been translating the dreams into reality”, says Mohamad Chehab, seeing first-hand and understanding the challenges faced by suppliers, contractors and designers in bringing design intent to life. “We are committed to supporting and easing the process of material selection with the designer and architect in the early stage of the project, starting with the understanding of the concept, developing the design using materials that ensure functionality and usage recommendation”, says Chehab.

When asked what project he is most proud of, Chehab responds, “Well, this is definitely going to be FAENA, we had to do a custom shape and shade, and We tested 27 magenta shade samples to get the exact hue needed by the client, which was featured on the entire roof and cascading pool.It was a project full of challenges and critical customisation.”
