Boilerplate

Established in 2017 by Islam Farrag, Core Architects, a design & build firm was a rising star among the architecture firms in Kuwait at the time. With a multimillion-Kuwaiti Dinar project in one of the most affluent neighborhoods in Kuwait City, the firm was able to climb its way up. In early 2020, when the COVID-19 pandemic hit, the city went into lockdown, and many businesses struggled to survive. Core was no exception. The studio faced a significant challenge as projects were put on hold, clients canceled contracts, and the team had to adapt to remote work. Islam refused to let his dreams crumble. He quickly gathered the team together, albeit virtually, and brainstormed ideas to keep the studio afloat during these uncertain times.
