Misr Insurance Company, Lazoghly

Notes

This building—started in 1946 and completed in 1948—is situated in Lazoghly square, in Downtown Cairo. The Lazoghly building, in British-style modern classicism, marks the first built work of the many collaborations between Mahmoud Riad and the Misr Insurance Company. Two years earlier, the office was commissioned to present a schematic design for an office building in Garden City but the project did not move forward.
