The Story Behind Interactive Spaces

Our mission is simple: To give you complete control over your space.

How It Started

From Frustration to Innovation

Interactive Spaces began as an idea between two friends who were frustrated with how difficult it was to truly interact with their own space.

It started with a simple goal: to better understand how our homes were functioning—what source of electricity we were using, how much energy we were consuming, whether the hot water was on, and more. That curiosity led us to explore IoT devices and home automation as a solution.

But instead of clarity, we found chaos: a mess of disconnected apps, devices that couldn't talk to each other, and platforms that relied on cloud servers—making basic tasks unreliable in Lebanon's unstable network conditions.

Through a bit of software and hardware tinkering, we realized we could fix all of that.

He's always been drawn to the intersection of design and technology, where small details can quietly transform everyday life. He later earned his MBA from INSEAD, expanding his perspective on innovation, strategy, and the future of connected environments.

Outside of work, Sari enjoys football, snowboarding, and a good strategy game—or anything that invites curiosity, focus, and a bit of fun.

Nicholas Helou

Electrical Engineer | Pepper Guru | Tinkerer

Nicholas is an electrical engineer and graduate of the American University of Beirut. After earning his degree, he worked across both electrical design and electrical contracting—gaining hands-on experience in how systems are built, managed, and optimized in the real world.

He thrives on problem-solving, especially when it involves numbers, systems, or finding out-of-the-box solutions.

Outside of work, Nicholas restores and modernizes classic cars, channeling the same curiosity and precision he brings to his smart automation projects. Whether it's fine-tuning a power system or perfecting a hot sauce recipe, he's always exploring how things work—and how to make them better.
