About Youssef Tohme Architects
Youssef Tohme Architects and Associates (YTAA) is a Beirut-based practice led by Lebanese architect Youssef Tohme, recognised for architecture that engages seriously with the city, its people and public life. Tohme’s work is notable for a research-driven, socially minded approach in which built form responds to community, memory and the specific realities of the Lebanese context.
The studio’s portfolio includes significant institutional and cultural work – among them acclaimed university campus architecture in Beirut – alongside residential and public projects. YTAA’s buildings are praised for their thoughtful spatial sequences, restraint and attention to how architecture can foster encounter and everyday urban experience.
Why Youssef Tohme Architects Matters
