Based on Sidi Gomes' thesis and research work at Harvard University's Graduate School of Design, our unique EXPERTISE lies in “Social Space design” - designing spaces and experiences that foster interaction, collaboration and stronger community building. From work environments to pure social spaces, we focus on the design of COMFORTABLE, BEAUTIFUL and FUNCTIONAL spaces. Spaces that attract, and keep people engaged & coming back - to hopefully create communities of repeat users that maximize relationship building opportunities, create a strong sense of belonging, and allow for innovation and productivity to flourish.

We have over 15 years of experience designing and building social and innovation spaces, having designed and built over one million square feet of space, spread over four continents. We have done work for clients such as the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), BOEING, Saudi Arabia's DTVC, Siemens Energy, MORI Building Co. in Japan, HB REVIS in Poland, Trinity College in Scotland, and the Cambridge Innovation Center (CIC) in the USA.

ORIGINAL STUDIO is a design agency that does work in architecture, urban design, interior design, photography, furniture design, and in the Metaverse.

If you are facing a challenging project and need support; or are the creative type (and are: uber talented, looking to help others build and realize their visions, and aren’t afraid of putting in the hard work) we want to work with you.

Let's collaborate: chat@ogstu.com

We pride ourselves in having our feet firmly planted on the ground while our minds are in the clouds. And while others will see weeds in a garden, we will have our hands in the dirt - turning them into nourishment for future flowers to grow.

Acknowledging and embracing our past, we stand firm in our conviction that the world can and must improve, and we are committed to building solutions to do so.

We are equipped with the know-how, experience, and drive to overcome what we believe to be the biggest challenge of today’s big urban environments - combating the weird feeling of lack of purpose and community one feels living in cities of millions of people where we are mostly strangers to one another. This despite living in today’s super globalized world of ours where it is easier than it has ever been to connect to any and everyone.

Our most important work will be in finding like minded people and organizations on this same quest - providing them with help & support, or with a fraternity to show them that they are not alone. And, ideally, to also serve as inspiration to get others started in this journey as well.

For one candle to light another, until we turn night into day.
