I am architect Mazen Mounir Khoudeir,
I began my professional career in the field of architecture and interior design in 1994, managing my own engineering office in Aleppo — a firm that gained a solid reputation in the city during the years before the war.
When the war broke out, I moved to the United Arab Emirates (Dubai), where I founded an architectural engineering company. During this period, I gained new, practical experience — especially in the field of collaborative engineering work within joint projects.
I have now returned to Aleppo in 2025, carrying a new vision for the future of our beloved city.
The Makan Work project is not merely a coworking space, but rather a strategic initiative aimed at contributing to the reconstruction of Aleppo and Syria — built upon modern and sustainable foundations.
We aspire for this center to become an incubator for creative ideas and an active platform for interaction between:
- Students
- Freelancers and entrepreneurs of small and emerging businesses
- Engineers, consultants, and business professionals
Our deeper goal is to help shape a new, educated, and skilled generation capable of rebuilding the nation — with forward-thinking minds, a collaborative spirit, and effective participation among all segments of Syrian society.
Wishing success and prosperity to all.
Engineer Mazen Mounir Khoudeir
