Who we are

The
Studio

CORE is a multidisciplinary architecture, interior and construction studio founded in Cairo in 2013. We shape considered spaces and finish them to the very last detail.

Design and build sit under one roof. The architect who draws your villa is on site when it is poured, and the team that renders your living room is the team that installs the joinery. That single thread is why the home you imagine is the home we hand over.

What we do

Four disciplines, one handover

Architecture

Recognising the need is the first condition of design

Buildings that answer climate, context and the lives they hold, from first sketch to construction drawings.

  • Concept and schematic design
  • Design development
  • Permitting and documentation
  • Site supervision

Interior Design

The right idea matters more than the expensive one

Considered interiors with bespoke joinery, curated materials and lighting that makes a room feel inevitable.

  • Space planning
  • Materials and furniture selection
  • Custom joinery
  • Lighting design

3D Visualisation

See the space before a single wall goes up

Photoreal stills and walkthroughs you approve room by room, so there are no surprises on site.

  • Photoreal renders
  • Animated walkthroughs
  • Material studies
  • Furniture layouts

Construction

The detail is not a detail. It is the design

Turnkey delivery with our own site teams and trusted trades, holding the design intent from drawing to keys.

  • Cost planning
  • Fit-out and finishing
  • Trade coordination
  • Quality control and handover
How we work

Four steps, one thread

01

Discover

We listen, study the site and agree a clear brief, budget and ambition.

02

Design

Concepts are tested in plan, model and 3D until the idea is undeniable.

03

Develop

Drawings, materials and details are resolved for permitting and pricing.

04

Deliver

Our site teams build it, protecting the design intent all the way to handover.

Portfolio

Every project, on its own
