Yasamin Arbabi Studio was founded in 2017 and is based in East London. We enjoy creating dynamic spaces with intimate quality while maintaining the indoor-outdoor connection. Our approach is to understand and analyse the client’s brief to provide the solutions that are specific to the context, the type of occupancy and how the space is to be used. Optimised configuration of spaces, adaptability and functionality, as well as being responsive to daylight, sunlight, outdoor open spaces and right choice of materials are the essential objectives of our design.
The studio welcomes projects of all scale and programs. We offer architectural design and services for feasibility study, concept design, planning permission application, tender drawings and site supervision during construction.
