Welcome to
A26 Studio
What defines us is not the size of a project, but the depth of its integration.
Architecture that belongs to its context, to its people, to its purpose.
BIM technologies and rigorous project management ensure that vision is translated into buildings that endure, while design remains rooted in proportion, light, and meaning.
Services
Architectural Design & Planning
Full architectural and planning services for projects of any scale. Each decision balances creativity with feasibility, ensuring that buildings are both visionary and achievable.
Master Planning & Urban Planning
Urban strategies developed as living frameworks. Large-scale interventions integrate social, economic, and environmental factors, shaping cities that foster connection and identity.
Conceptual Design & Feasibility Studies
Every design journey begins with exploration. Early studies combine vision with measurable data, testing possibilities against constraints of site, budget, and regulation.
Building Information Modeling (BIM)
Digital modeling embedded from the start. BIM enhances collaboration, prevents errors, and ensures that form, structure, and systems develop in harmony.
Construction Documentation & Permit Processing
From drawings to approvals, every process is handled with accuracy. Compliance is guaranteed, design intent preserved.
Project Management & Coordination
Architecture realized through collaboration. Project management aligns architects, engineers, and contractors, keeping progress measurable, transparent, and on schedule.
Interior Design
Interiors extend the architectural narrative. Spaces are timeless, functional, and human-centered, connected to the building's character.
Marketing Visuals & Presentation Materials
Design communicated as vividly as it is imagined. Renderings, brochures, and presentations showcase a project's potential long before construction begins.

Partnerships (DI&A)
Structural Excellence, powered by our partnership with DI&A
Behind every building that aspires to endure lies a structure that does more than carry weight. It must adapt, remain invisible within the design, and give form the freedom to exist.
DI&A Design Consulting brings this balance of strength and subtlety. With decades of expertise in structural engineering, their mastery transforms complexity into clarity—from seismic calculations to high-performance concrete systems, every solution aligns seamlessly with architectural intent.
They are more than engineers. They are structural strategists, ensuring that every bold geometry stands on an equally bold framework.
In partnership with A26, DI&A delivers stability, intelligence, and resilience for projects where precision is non-negotiable.
Focus areas:
Structural Design
Tailored concepts for residential, commercial, and industrial projects, where form, function, and impact converge.
Precision & Safety
Integrated BIM processes guarantee accuracy, coordination, and efficiency at every stage.
Engineering
Large-scale strategies that future-proof developments and respect context, community, and environment.
Efficiency
In-depth evaluations that align vision with technical, legal, and financial realities.
