We design it to the last detail, so nothing is left to guesswork.
Segments is an architecture and interior studio in Zamalek, Cairo. There are about twenty-five of us: architects, interior designers and technical staff. Most of the day goes into drawings.
Founded with a vision to redefine contemporary design in Egypt and the region, Segments Architects is a multidisciplinary practice known for creative rigor, technical excellence and a client-centric approach
Architecture is more than buildings — it's shaping experiences, enhancing environments and building lasting value. From residential and hospitality to commercial and urban development, we serve clients across Egypt and the Middle East

PEOPLE IN THE STUDIO
HOW WE
THINK
Before it is a building, a plan is a guess about how people will move through it. Most of our work is checking that guess.
We start with the awkward questions. Where does service enter without crossing guests. What happens to the courtyard in August at two in the afternoon. Which wall is going to be moved later anyway, so it may as well be drawn to move. The plan follows the answers.
WHAT WE
MAKE
Interior architecture and architecture, in the same studio. Restaurants and cafés, retail, workplaces, villas, residential districts and the planning around them.
The categories are not separate skills for us. A restaurant taught us that a plan is judged within a week of opening, and a residential district taught us what happens when a decision is deferred for two years. Both lead to the same habit: resolve it in the drawing. Architecture, interiors, landscape and the technical package all sit in this studio, so the coordination happens here rather than after the package goes out.

WHO MAKES
IT
We hire people who argue about a detail and then go and draw the answer. Openings are on the jobs page.
Drawings, physical models and material samples sit side by side in the Zamalek studio. Clients are welcome to come and see the work at any stage of it.
