The Founders | ​Lebanese-Polish sisters, architects, creators & wanderers, Tessa & Tara Sakhi, were immersed into a multi-cultural environment and the world of architecture & art through their parents at an early age. Having garnered experience in various architecture offices and through freelance projects in Beirut, New York and Paris, it is mostly through their constant travel journeys and shared enthusiasm for exploring eclectic environments that Tessa found her passion for philanthropy, social & civic collaborations, while Tara developed hers for photography, scenography and set design. In 2016, they combined their strong duality of versatile talents & individual affinities to co-found T SAKHI under one harmonious and complementary vision: an architecture & design platform that promotes innovation through multi-disciplinary collaborations. Tessa & Tara both started their initial architecture studies at L’académie Libanaise des Beaux Arts in Beirut. Tessa graduated in 2015 with a Bachelor’s Degree of Architecture at the American University of Beirut, winning first prize of honors & excellence in the Areen Awards for her diploma project. Tara graduated in 2016 with a Master’s Degree from École Spéciale d’Architecture in Paris, earning high honors & distinction for her thesis project. ​ ​ The Firm | ​Each talent, local or international, shares their passion and knowledge in order to constantly stimulate exchange, contrast, heterogeneity and hybridity in the projects undertaken. Therefore, creating a diverse cultural pattern: one that is less focused on trends and more constructed on human interactions & behavior, cultural evolution and the notion of identity in today’s world. Our projects range from residential to commercial, from architecture to product design, and art direction.
