About Us

Arcadia World is an architectural and design practice operating across Africa, the Middle East, and Lebanon. The firm is founded, owned, and directed by Architect Bassima Houjeij, who leads its vision, strategic direction, and design philosophy.


Our work spans residential, commercial, and industrial projects, developed through rigorous research, technological precision, and a deep understanding of place. We believe architecture must respond to climate, culture, and landscape while advancing innovation in construction and material performance.


Arcadia World aligns with the principles of the Arab Inclusive Employment and Entrepreneurship Compact (AlEEC), reinforcing our commitment to inclusive development. Sustainability and accessibility are embedded in our methodology, with a focus on disability-inclusive design, ensuring the built environment promotes dignity, participation, and long-term resilience.


Through integrated design processes and strategic thinking, Arcadia World delivers architecture that is efficient, responsible, and rooted in its context.
