WHO WE ARE
ALBAARI + PARTNERS
ALBAARI + Partners is a Michigan based design studio offering architectural and interior design services to residential and commercial clients. Formed in 2012, by Raqeeb Albaari and Kidest Albaari, our office remains small, focused on compelling, collaborative projects of all scales.
Our Mission:
“Our work is guided by a commitment to participating in challenging projects that make a difference in the quality of life for all people”
We bring an honest, straightforward approach to our work, uniquely informed by circumstance, process, and ultimately the act of effectively designing unique and useful buildings. It is our goal to bring the vision of the client, the particulars of the site, and the richness of design together to create an enduring livable architecture capable of inspiration and delight.
We believe in comprehensive design solutions that recognize and respond to environmental concerns regarding our limited natural resources, pollution, health, and biodiversity. With elegant design, creative thinking, and careful construction, buildings can be made to less and last longer. A building that functions well delights the mind and pleases the eye will remain farther from the wrecking ball. In addition, the integration of sustainable technologies like planted green roofs, solar power, water collection, recycled materials, and passive solar design doesn’t need to look and feel like an experiment. Thoughtful incorporation of these elements and principles early in the design process can produce buildings that are rich, appealing and most importantly, responsible.
