AMBS Architects

AMBS Architects are an international team of highly skilled architects, designers, and engineers, delivering two-fold expertise in architecture and project management. Their interdisciplinary approach puts into practice participation and creativity, giving primary allegiance to a design process that directly engages the client and end user.

AMBS Architects was founded by Iraqi architect Ali Mousawi, who was later joined by Amir Mousawi and Marcos De Andres in 2007. Expanding on Ali’s 40 years of experience working in both the UK and Iraq, they have established themselves as one of Iraq’s foremost architecture and project management firms, with a growing team of highly skilled professionals in offices between London, Baghdad, and Basra.

Being based in both the UK and Iraq, they uphold a forward-thinking approach informed by a deep cultural understanding. Working closely with the Iraqi government and dedicated teams of experts internationally, they are leading socially ambitious projects that are making a significant contribution to the future of Iraq. Their projects range from urban master plans to residential developments, from civic and healthcare buildings to cultural centers. Since 2003 they have been actively involved in the rebuilding of Iraq, and they are committed to minimising environmental impact and optimising energy efficiency.
