What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that allow me to lead sustainable projects and educate others in the field.

I am Radwa Rostom, a passionate architect and sustainability advocate with over a decade of experience in the construction and design industry. As the Founder and CEO of Hand Over Projects, I have successfully led initiatives that focus on sustainable building solutions, integrating earth construction techniques and human-centered design approaches. My commitment to sustainability is reflected in my work, where I manage projects that not only meet client needs but also contribute positively to the environment.

In addition to my role at Hand Over, I serve as a part-time lecturer at the German University in Cairo, where I teach courses on life cycle analysis and ecological buildings. My academic contributions are complemented by my consulting work with organizations like OPF, where I assist in GHG accounting for Bcorp certification. I am dedicated to fostering partnerships and collaborations that enhance the impact of sustainable practices in architecture and construction.
