Early in his career, in his home country Lebanon, Gilbert worked as Senior Design Architect in several prestigious architectural consultancies such as HM Architects, Pierre Basil Architects, Jean Marc Bonfils Architects and AAA. His role was to manage the entire process from concept creation to detailed design to coordination with consultants across disciplines.

In 2015, he moved to the UAE to lead the design department and manage projects from ideation to completion as Head of Design at A3 Design. A few years later, he took the position of Project Director with the Sahara Centre Mall, to manage the execution of their new extension as operator representative. And in 2020, he joined Sunset Hospitality as Director of Design and Technical Services to develop the creation of 5 new hotel concepts that will be located in the GCC, Europe and Africa.

In parallel, Gilbert has several private clients that use his expertise for their personal assignments across a range of projects from Architectural design to Interior design. The services include concept creation, good for tender execution drawings as well as site inspections for quality assurance / execution review.
