PRACTICE
Buju Design is a Turkish design and architecture firm based in Istanbul.
We are focused on creating architecture and interior design projects with customized products, as well as providing art consultancy and bespoke art pieces for individual and corporate clients.
As Buju Design, we believe that there are two important aspects of a good design: the mathematics and the mood. Our main purpose is to create a pleasant atmosphere with a great functionality for our clients.
We are your design consultant with a dedicated team consisting of architects, interior designers, artists and artisans. Our wish is to help you out with what you need with your space at any scale. What we really do is to turn your space and/or yourself into the very best version possible, in order to reflect your way to live yourself as you exactly are.
We believe that the best feeling of the space that we are designing is created by the uniqueness in the client's being. Every client, whether an individual or a hospitality group, has a unique formation and authenticity that needs to be projected to this world. We are the team that would bring it to life through our vision and design with customized and delicate details.
