MEET THE FOUNDER
CEO & FOUNDER
LAITHY MEKAWY
Laithy, the man himself, is an embodiment of the laid-back host and friend. As entertaining comes naturally to him, he is constantly envisioning flow. The impact of movement and how it fundamentally makes a place dynamic or static, is something that is at the core of Laithy’s architectural work. A true peoples’ person, he instinctively wants to get people to connect, share, and use. Whether residential, public, or commercial, it is always inviting yet purposeful.
Since graduating from AAST in 2004, Laithy has focused his scope geographically in the MENA region. He began his work journey in Istanbul in the late 2000’s a city known for its architectural heritage which at the time was modernizing and adapting to contemporary living. This experience allowed him to build an ethos around respecting regional relevance and integrating it with present living demands. An ethos which upon his return to his native Egypt in 2008, he founded L + A on.
