Who we areArchitects first.
Architects first.
Retailers second.
Ghar Studio is the design arm of CDG, an architectural practice working with companies across Africa.
Our designers spend the rest of the week on commercial buildings, the kind with drawings, deadlines and a quantity surveyor. That work is about the same thing this is. A building is only finished when it stops feeling like a building.
Ghar brings that to a single room. The same eye, the same drawings, and the sourcing to go with it, pointed at your home instead of a development.
Where the pieces come from
Every piece on a shortlist is one of three things. Across the 12 pieces in the studio shortlists as they stand, the split runs like this.
