Head of Design Department

Eng. Tareq Skaik

Academic Foundation and Early Experience


Interior Architecture and Design Training


Eng. Tareq Skaik is a licensed and certified interior designer with an academic background in interior architecture. His education introduced him to the foundational principles of proportion, spatial dynamics, and material behavior—core components that continue to inform his design decisions across diverse project scales.


Progressive Career Start


Tareq began his career in the Middle East, where his understanding of context-based interiors developed rapidly. His early involvement with design-build firms shaped a holistic approach—one that integrates creative development with construction logic and delivery timelines.


Global Perspective and Cross-Cultural Influence


Design Across Continents


With over 12 years of international experience across the United States, the United Kingdom, and the Middle East, Tareq brings a rare breadth to his design thinking. His exposure to different regulatory systems, user behaviors, and cultural aesthetics has sharpened his ability to adapt global concepts to local realities without compromising context or identity.


Integrated Design Thinking


Having worked in both architecture and design firms, Tareq has cultivated a 360-degree understanding of project delivery—from concept development to post-occupancy evaluation. This experience allows him to harmonize creativity with operational demands, making his design leadership both visionary and grounded.


Current Role and Leadership at Algedra


Creative Direction and Project Oversight


As Head of Design at Algedra, Eng. Tareq Skaik leads the complete design lifecycle. His responsibilities span early-stage concept development, design detailing, interdepartmental coordination, and final project handover. His structured process ensures consistency from the blueprint phase through to execution.


Mentorship and Team Growth


He mentors design teams by emphasizing logic-based design methods over surface-level decoration. His style builds technical confidence and encourages a disciplined approach to creativity, especially in younger professionals entering the field.


Working Methodology


Strategic Planning and Execution


Tareq’s workflow begins with spatial programming, circulation studies, and volumetric planning. Only after these fundamentals are resolved does he layer in aesthetic considerations. This method minimizes miscommunication across architecture, lighting, MEP, and fit-out teams.


Collaborative Project Management


He ensures seamless input from consultants, contractors, and engineers by fostering open dialogue while protecting the integrity of the design. Adjustments are made strategically—never impulsively—keeping the project’s original intent intact.


Signature Projects and Industry Recognition


Landmark Hospitality and Commercial Projects


●    In 2012, he led the design for the Intelligent Services Building in Ethiopia, a 48,000 SQM facility featuring a modern spatial identity and technologically responsive interiors.

●    As design manager for Granada Hotel in Iraq, a standout architectural landmark, Tareq exceeded client expectations through inventive design solutions and timely delivery.

●    He is currently managing a boutique hotel near the new airport in Doha, Qatar, where his problem-solving capacity was instrumental in overcoming major project challenges.


High-End Residential Portfolios


His portfolio includes luxury penthouses, private villas, and palaces for high-profile clients across the GCC. His residential work emphasizes flow, comfort, and longevity, while still incorporating bespoke detailing and user-specific spatial strategies.


Material Intelligence and Site Responsiveness


Technical Material Selection


Tareq integrates climate behavior, acoustic control, and material resilience into his specification process. Finishes and construction systems are selected not only for visual value but for how they perform under use, temperature fluctuations, and operational demands.


Future Directions and Design Approach


Responding to Spatial Needs


Tareq views each design brief as a practical question, not a canvas for trend-driven styling. His current focus includes urban master plans, mixed-use developments, and large-scale private residences, where user comfort and function define the aesthetic roadmap.


Clarity Over Complexity


His design language favors clarity, structural logic, and future adaptability. Rather than pursuing elaborate visual gestures, he builds layouts that evolve with occupants’ needs and hold long-term relevance.


Collaborate with Eng. Tareq Skaik


For residential, hospitality, or commercial interior design projects requiring deep expertise, global sensibility, and structured execution, Eng. Tareq Skaik offers reliable leadership and creative clarity.
