Hanna Salameh (Arabic: حنا سلامة) is a Jordanian-American architect, designer and artist. After completing his higher education in Canada, he moved back to Amman in 2012 to start a design and architecture firm: Hanna Salameh Design (HSD)[1]. The firm’s work can be found in the cities of Amman, Montreal, Paris, Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Lyon, Tangier, Doha, Juba, Khartoum and Muscat, and focuses on environmental sustainability[2].
Salameh's international exposure peaked after HSD released a video for 'Jordan Gate Park', a proposal to revamp the stagnating Jordan Gate Towers project in Amman, Jordan, which thus far has gained over 800k views[3].
Early Life & Education
Salameh was born in September 1987 in the United States to Nabil Salameh and Hiyam Habash, both bankers based in Amman. He is the oldest of three children, sibling to twins Bana and Basel Salameh. Salameh gained his high school diploma in 2005 from the New English School in Amman.[1]
He completed both his Bachelors of Science in Architecture and Masters in Architecture degrees at McGill University in Montreal, Canada.[1]
Hanna Salameh Design
According to the firm's portfolio, it has done work in the fields of Hospitality, Healthcare, Education, Residential, Office and Retail design, in various parts of the world including the Middle East, Europe, Canada and Africa. Projects range from small scale design to large-scale buildings.[4]
Founded in 2012, Salameh espoused the firm with a an emphasis on developing a new perspective on modern architecture into the firm, "focusing on designs that are both relevant and specific to their culture and context"[5][6]. Moreover, HSD's work focuses on sustainable design, attempting to construct efficient buildings that are passively green, healthy and environmentally friendly.[7][3][2]
All of HSD’s projects save at least 60% of their running energy, compared to similar buildings, with some reaching complete independence from the power grid.[8]

Product Design
HSD began venturing into product design in late 2016[7]. Product design is an independent effort rather than for specific clients, debuting their work in Amman Design Week.
An example of HSD's product design is the FLO Line[9][7]; a collection of furniture for domestic use and interactive sculptures for public spaces, inspired by nature.[6]
Visions
HSD ‘Visions’ seems to tackle problems in unconventional ways, based on proactive solutions after researching how to improve them[6]. Visions are released in the form of videos, the first being "Jordan Gate Park" which gained substantial media attention and was picked up by several outlets including The Guardian.[10]
Jordan Gate Park proposed a different take on the Jordan Gate Towers project, that has been on hold for around seven years. HSD’s main proposal suggests using the towers for vertical farming, with several other proposals including producing clean energy via solar panels and wind turbines.[10][6][3][2]
Research and Development
Research and development is a self-funded, primarily focused on architectural trends, new technologies, sustainability, and giving HSD a competitive advantage.[6]
Green Awareness & Teaching
Salameh hosts lectures at McGill, and at universities, schools and general public in Jordan, on sustainable design. Salameh was featured in a documentary on Green buildings in Jordan, and hosts ‘May o Taqa o Frata’, an online web-series produced by Aramram.com. The series shows him traveling to houses around the Kingdom of Jordan, assessing the house’s performance from a sustainability perspective, and making renovations which save energy, water and money.[8]
Filmmaking & Theatre
Salameh dabbled in the arts at a very young age, leading him to take making independent films and theater productions as a professional hobby.
Salameh has directed and starred in multiple productions, both onstage and on camera including "Oliver!", in Arabic[11][12], and My Fair Lady[13]. Salameh has also directed three short films titled Black Ribbon, RFR and Traffic Life[14].
Personal Life
Salameh currently resides in Amman, Jordan, spending most of his time focused on his work. In his spare time, he explores literature on human psychology, sings and plays the piano.
