The studio

1:1 philosophy

One to One Workshop is an architecture and interior design studio based in Egypt. The name is how we work.

One to one with the clientThe client is part of the design.

We design close to the people we design for. Decisions are made together, on site and around the table, and the client sees every drawing before it becomes the next one.

One to one with the people who buildIt is always about people.

A project is the people who use it and the people who make it: the family, the carpenter, the contractor and our team, working in the same conversation.

One to one in scaleThe drawing ends at full size.

1:1 is real scale. Our work is finished when it stands on site and is in use, not when the drawings are printed.

The studio

1:1 means one accountable party from first sketch to handover.

One to One Workshop is an architecture and interior design studio in Egypt. We draw, make and build, and we stay with each project until people are living in it.
