, will collaborate with Karmbuild on building the KarmSolar Sahl Hasheesh Campus Headquarters. KarmSolar, the fastest-growing solar technology company in Egypt, will unveil the project during its first annual forum on December 8 during the RiseUp Summit satellite event held at the Falaki Theatre at the American university in Cairo (AUC).

The project is a joint venture with Fahmy and KarmSolar coming together to imagine and attempt a different vision for real estate development and architecture in Egypt. A vision that reformulates a new progressive architectural expression and experience using abstract, artistic and intellectual interpretations of strongly embedded historical and current local cultural identity influences. Fahmy continues expanding on her design methodology that places value on design character and has clear interpretations of culture and heritage and translating them into modernized designs.

The KarmSolar Sahl Hasheesh Campus Headquarters features inspirations by various elements, such as the Palmetto plant of Pharaonic, Roman origins, and Pharaonic ceilings in temples in Aswan, Nubian architecture and traditional architectural motifs.

“Karmbuild and Azza Fahmy have come together to imagine and attempt a different vision for real estate development and architecture in Egypt: A vision that reformulates a new progressive architectural expression and experience using abstract, artistic and intellectual interpretations of strongly embedded historical and current local cultural identity influences,” says Karim Kafrawi, KarmBuild Principal Architect.

He adds that Fahmy has successfully developed the fusion of cultural references from an artistic, intellectual, cultural and historical perspective and incorporating this fusion into wearable art. “By bringing this approach into architecture and combined with renewable solar energy and environmentally conscious design, we are reimagining how our built environment can be developed for the future,” Kafrawi adds.

KarmBuild, a subsidiary of KarmSolar, provides architecture design and construction in parallel with the values and mission of Karmsolar.
