About PAD10

PAD10 is an inter-disciplinary design practice focused on architecture, graphic design, and creative publishing. PAD10 has a wide array of experience in visual and spatial communications, where both work in unison rather than in mutually exclusive spheres.

Established in 2009, PAD10 operates from Kuwait City and Beirut (PAD7). PAD10’s core belief is that each project and client are distinct in the challenges they pose, leading to unique interpretations and breeding inimitability to the project‘s program and form. A rigorous understanding of the cultural surroundings, the programmatic pragmatics, and the client’s agenda form the framework within which the project is generated, with multiple iterations at work.

The projects, from small scale logotypes to large scale masterplans, share a rigorous process and dialogue with the client, interpreted into a unique experience that holds prejudice towards no criteria, except that of expected formalism. The interface with the client, the political makeup, the economic infrastructure, and the social superstructure are enrolled in the process to generate a unique outcome.

Founded by Naji Moujaes, an award-winning architect, PAD10 and PAD7 have been an extended experimental platform to many rigorous and creative minds with multi-disciplinary backgrounds, ranging from copy writers, to architects and graphic designers. Working inter-disciplinarily, the visual and the spatial expressions of projects weave seamlessly to craft a richer client’s experience.
