Designing Hospitality with Meaning and Elegance

Canadian-born architect and interior designer Sanjit Manku is recognized for his sensitive and narrative vision of architecture. A graduate of the University of Waterloo, he moved to France where he enriched his career with several agencies before co-founding Jouin Manku with Patrick Jouin in 2006.
His approach is characterized by a unique ability to blend innovation, respect for heritage, and emotion in projects for hotels, restaurants, museums, and cultural spaces. For him, each space carries a story that must be revealed while integrating contemporary expectations. He strives to create spaces that are elegant, functional, and profoundly human, where the sensory and narrative experience become central. His iconic achievements include international projects such as La Mamounia in Marrakech, the Haras de Strasbourg, and the Mutigny Resort Hotel in Champagne, where he successfully combined modernity with local identity.
Sanjit Manku embodies architecture that welcomes, narrates, and engages, making each project an immersion where hospitality is fully experienced.
