ABOUT
At Studio Narra we build our own sur-real fictions. We like to conduct sensory experiences where our guests expect the unexpected, engage emotionally and leave with a feeling of wonderment. We believe in radical and optimistic proposals made in its most simplest and rawest form. We are not defined by style, time or method but by our ambition to tell compelling and seriously funny ideas.

Each project is defined by oxymorons which establish a unique framework with its own rules, textures and techniques. It balances on the constant tension of rigidity and organic flows between spaces, light & darkness and the vernacular craft & global solutions. As conscious architects we take the contemporary climate policies as an opportunity to create new and relevant contributions to the built environment of tomorrow. The multiple facets of reaching a clean ecological footprint as durability, resilience, and renewable energies are key design elements at the beginning of every design.

The duo conducts a multi-disiplinary studio striving to create story-telling projects that are critically approached by architects, ergonomically shaped by designers and carefully crafted by engineers. The projects range from architecture projects, research and vast urban plans. We are always open for creative opportunities as long as they can tell a compelling narrative.


Studio Narra is founded by two complementary Belgian brothers based in Geneva and Amsterdam. They have graduated as an engineers & architects at the KU Leuven, Politecnico di Milano and Accademia di architettura di Mendrisio. The brothers also have several years of working experiences at Herzog & de Meuron in Basel and OMA in Rotterdam. They gained their knowledge  on international projects ranging from masterplans, mixed-use skyscrapers, housing, offices, public buildings, musea, interior projects, renovations, extensions and furniture design. They also founded the design platform Objects With Narratives.
