Leila Hamroun

“There’s a heartbeat about community work. It’s there, it’s immediate. It engages multiple generations and you see it. And that’s why it’s so critical, that’s why it must be encouraged."

Leila Hamroun is a historic preservationist and architect who has devoted her life to learning about the history and identity of places.

For Leila, the challenge is how to create architecture that both contributes to its present community and represents its history. She's volunteered for multiple Collaborative Design Grants since 2012. 

Leila has worked with Friends Housing Cooperative, South Street Headhouse District, Friends of Bainbridge Green, and New Freedom Theater.
