Yassir Khalil architect

Graduated as an Architect (DESA) in Paris in 1996, Yassir worked for several years in Parisian firms, including Roland Simonet Architecte, before founding YASSIRKHALILSTUDIO in 2000. This followed a four-year stint at the Urban Agency of Casablanca, allowing him to better understand the city where he would settle.

Frustrated by the nature of private commissions, which were primarily focused on real estate promotion at that time, he quickly turned to architectural competitions.

Specializing in architecture, urban planning, and development, YKS has undertaken significant projects, including the rehabilitation of Place Lalla Yeddouna in Fez, the new LGV Casa-Voyagers train station, the Adagio and Zyriab hotels, the renovation of the iconic Vélodrome Park, and the IPSE College.
