Studio Katsibas is an architecture practice working across commercial, hospitality, and high-end residential projects, with offices in Los Angeles and London. We work with private clients and developers on projects ranging from individual homes to retail, hotels, and office developments.
We often hear that as a profession, architects can be hard to work with. At Studio Katsibas we make sure that designing and delivering a project is an enjoyable and fulfilling experience for everyone - especially the client.
Much of our business comes from long-term clients who choose us again and again. They tell us that it’s because we see things differently. We unlock potential that might have gone unnoticed, and search for unique and unexpected ways of putting buildings together.
Clients enjoy working with us because we recognize that our opinion isn’t the only valid one. We honestly believe that good design is a collaborative business, with clients at the center.
