ABOUT
At the studio we conceive architecture as the art of crafting indelible memories, and at the heart of the work lies the exploration of extraordinary spatial experiences and the pursuit of a mindful approach to living. Behind the scenes, we draw inspiration from Ancient Architecture, and apply ecologic techniques, to deliver a timeless feeling without sacrificing contemporary comforts of living.
Since 2021, we have been dedicated to designing residential, hospitality, and workplace environments, locally and globally, and more recently, the studio embarked on a tangent artistic journey within the Metaverse, attracting 7,000+ visitors to explore the virtual creations and assisting 10+ brands in venturing into immersive technologies for the first time.
Among the achievements of the studio, there are prestigious accolades such as the 1st Prize in the Young Architects Competitions, the top honor in the MAD Interior Design Awards, the European Metaverse Awards in 2023, and a coveted spot in the Metaverse Architecture Biennale 2023. Furthermore, my designs have been showcased in renowned specialized publications, both online and in print, such as Casabella, Imagicasa, Ignant, Archdaily, Designboom, and were featured at the unique venue of Art Basel Miami 2022.
