For Naoum Shebib, the building does not stand isolated.
Its structure connects to the forces, stresses and energies, his space to the lives of its occupants, its symbolism to the culture of a population, its construction to the craftsmanship and the techniques of the time.

Naoum Shebib believed that, in a building, a close connexion should exist between materials, energy, man and society.
The more perfect the symbiosis between these elements, the more remarkable the success of the work.
Uniqueness and harmony are the signature of Naoum Shebib's architecture.

The building is the work of man for man.
The building, he said, must be the servant of its inhabitants, hence a constant search for functionality and a particular concern to create pleasant living spaces.
