La Maison D’Egypte Student Dormitory / Dar Arafa Architecture + SAM architecture

La Maison D’Egypte is an attempt to revisit the essence of Egyptian architecture, especially considering its strong Parisian location: the Cite Internationale Universitaire de Paris, full of early modernist buildings such as Le Corbusier’s Fondation Suisse 1933 and the House of Brazil 1957. The design intent was to create this building as more than just your standard dormitory and make into a home away from home for both Egyptian and international students in the heart of Paris.
