Hajjar Gibran
Founder/CEO 
The son of an inventor, Hajjar Gibran’s youth passed building tree houses, hot rods and tiny homes. He was already a skilled designer/builder by the time he finished the engineering program at SDSU. He build his first passive solar home in Nova Scotia, where he won several awards from the Nova Scotia Design Council.
In the 80’s Hajjar founded Life Designs to support rainforest preservation.  For over 10 years he designed and managed the production of responsibly harvested rainforest products to fund legal action that granted indigenous people ownership of over 25,000 acres of virgin rainforest. 
​
​After his beloved brother’s tragic death, Hajjar was inspired to follow his spiritual calling to author The Return of The Prophet. Hajjar’s award winning sequel to the spiritual classic The Prophet by his great uncle Kahlil Gibran was published in 2009 in more than 40 countries around the world.
While building The Gibran Center in Thailand, Hajjar developed an innovative way of building beautiful low cost AirCrete domes that has gained international recognition. 
He founded Domegaia in 2014 to answer the global demand for his innovative low cost housing designs.
