History: The First 50 Years In 1958 the young Sabah Abi-Hanna completed a summer internship with the Public Works Department in Kuwait while studying architecture at the American University of Beirut. He returned after graduation and quickly set up his own practice in 1961, the same year Kuwait gained its independence. Amid Kuwait’s rapid urbanisation, his practice and reputation flourished. With technical and aesthetic innovations he made an early mark on the burgeoning cityscape of Kuwait. Along with Salem Al-Marzouk, a civil engineer and reforming politician, Sabah formed a powerful new partnership based on a shared commitment to quality and ethics and the firm won many major government projects.
SSH offices were ransacked, projects were halted and staff were scattered all around the globe. But the SSH spirit prevailed. Following liberation, even as the burning oil wells blacken the sky, the partners and a core team of staff regrouped, remobilised and renegotiated major contracts. Ali Al-Abdullah joined SSH in 1993 with his broad public sector and management expertise and a powerful quartet guided SSH towards the millennium. New talent enabled the company to stay on the leading edge of technology and design. In 2013 a new board of directors was appointed to breathe energy and inspiration into SSH while retaining the established core company values.
