Pad10 Architects Designers

PAD10 Architects + Designers, an internationally award-winning architecture+design firm, hosts creative minds in the fields of architecture and graphic design. Our cross-disciplinary practice emerges from a belief that spatial and visual communications operate in unison rather than in mutually exclusive spheres. Our international setup – with PADx Paris, PAD7 Beirut and PAD10 Kuwait – is backed-up with team-centric BIM (Building Information Modelling) technology, and Cloud file sharing system, to ensure optimal collaboration among different team members. Our offices are professionally licensed architectural practices in Paris and Beirut, with project management setup in Kuwait. Our core belief is that each project and client are distinct in the challenges they pose, leading to unique interpretations and breeding inimitability to the project’s program and form. A rigorous understanding of the cultural surroundings, the political makeup, the economic infrastructure, the social superstructure, the programmatic pragmatics, and the client’s agenda form the framework within which the project is generated, with multiple iterations at work. Our underlying omnipresent agenda is for Architecture to operate beyond its bounds, as it is one with its social and urban surroundings; it shall act as an urban catalyst and social enabler. The projects, from small scale logotypes to large scale masterplans, share a rigorous process and dialogue with the client, interpreted into a unique experience that holds prejudice towards no criteria, except that of expected formalism. PAD10 engagement with its surroundings through participating in pro-bono design works, lectures, workshops, exhibitions, and publications tune its professional practice with a critical outlook. PAD10 cultural insight on the milieu it operates in, is documented by the ‘the Kulture Files’, a pamphlet it curates and circulates. Read more: https://pad10.com/about-us/
