OVERVIEW

Founded in 2012 by two architects of different cultural backgrounds united by the common passion for architectural and interior design, Quark Studio Architects aim to deliver something more than a traditional design company.

Here in Quark Studio, we make designs to provoke emotions, memories and experiences. We believe those are the best ways to transform the life quality of those we are touching. Since every project has unique conditions and qualities, our philosophy is to create a unique atmosphere for every project.

We have designed and supervised projects for known private developers winning limited or unlimited competitions and tenders. Our main team consists of architects of average 7 years of experience in the business.

All projects

At Quark, we’ve worked on numerous projects within a broad range of industries. Our expertise allows us to quickly understand the requirements of your product and help you save resources.

Our Methodology

For us, every project begins with listening.

01Listen

We start by listening: to our clients’ goals, budget and timeline, and to the site, its climate and the culture around it.

02Explore

We sketch options side by side and weigh each one against the development goals and the budget, then choose a direction together.

03Design

We design the architecture and the interiors as one, so that structure, function and atmosphere support each other down to the last detail.
