Roy Azar (born November 27, 1962) is a Mexican architect, interior designer, and hotelier whose eclectic style aims to create adorned yet fresh environments, characterized by explorations of the color palette, light and shadow for dramatic intensity, and is based in the 1970’s architectural innovations of the layout.

Biography
Azar was born in Beirut, Lebanon. He was educated in Mexico City since 1970, when he entered the Lycée Franco-Mexicain, and later earned a Bachelor of Architecture degree from the Anahuac University. He started his own practice in Mexico in 1984, steadily growing a selected group of elite clientele, until 2009 when he was catapulted into the mainstream by the commission of the St. Regis Punta Mita Resort, earning him several awards and recognitions up to this day. With the opening of this resort in the Mexican Pacific and the publication of the book The St. Regis Punta Mita by Hasson Editorial, Azar celebrated his 25 years of career. Currently Roy Azar Architects Firm is based in Mexico City with projects in the whole wide Mexican Country, as well as several appearances in interior design and architectural books of reference. In his early years Azar absorbed from his environment the magic and mysticism of the Mediterranean and the Richness of its culture, which translate into his strokes of interior design. Many have defined him as a creative soul who finds inspiration in the things that surround him; experimenting, living, feeling, and above all enjoying: light, nature, a landscape, an object, a color, a scent.
