ABOUT

HI :)

 
 

Thanks for swinging by my corner of the internet.

My story starts in 2016, when I left my full-time job as an Architect, trading CAD for chaos and set up Hanna Benihoud Studio in North London.

Since then, a fair amount has happened at HB HQ. I've transformed dead ends into back drops. I've illuminated dingy tunnels, hiding projectors in dustbins. I've taken over Kings Cross with real women's stories.  I've twisted molten steel into beautiful ribbons. I’ve even reconfigured alleyways to stop men urinating.

In other words I have been pushing the boundary of where architecture ends and art begins, integrating themes of wayfinding, illustration, animation and lighting.

 
 
 

The canvas?
Doesn’t matter. Public squares or public toilets. Billboards, Benches or Beaches. I love a challenge. Bring it on.

The medium?
Doesn’t matter. If we can’t build it in-house I know someone who can. We work with world class fabricators to turn sketches into sculpture.

The message?
That really matters. Whether tactical or commissioned, planned or spontaneous, what unites my practice is storytelling.
