ABOUT
MARWAN HELOU
With over 16 years of architectural expertise, I have built a career centered on delivering innovative, high-quality designs that blend creativity with functionality. Throughout my professional journey, I have taken on key design leadership roles within leading real estate and architectural firms, overseeing visionary projects that align with client goals, market demands, and evolving industry trends.
I have successfully led the design and delivery of a wide-ranging portfolio of concept projects across the Gulf region, covering various sectors and levels of complexity. My experience includes fulfilling responsibilities typically associated with positions such as Design Director, Head of Commercial Design, and Design Manager—guiding multidisciplinary teams, developing advanced design solutions, and contributing to major real estate developments through strategic design leadership, feasibility studies, and investment planning.
In addition to my architectural work, I am a former 3DS Max Instructor at BIMME, where I had the opportunity to mentor and support aspiring designers. With a strong passion for architecture, innovation, and collaboration, I remain committed to creating purposeful, inspiring spaces that leave a meaningful and lasting impact.
