Architecture and interiors for more than 40 international brands and companies.
PIALA is a group of architectural design companies with representatives in Paris and design studios in Yerevan and Tbilisi. We design brand stores, hotels, housing and interiors, from the first creative concept to construction-ready drawings.
We work closely alongside our clients’ own teams, in their templates and BIM standards, on a 24/7 workflow that keeps a project moving after their working day ends.
Selected projects
Our clients
Relief Residential Complex
A residential complex that steps down a green hillside, following the slope instead of cutting into it.

Ghost Resto Lounge and Rooms
A restaurant, lounge bar and rooms in deep greens and warm wood, under crystal chandeliers and linear light.
Maje and Sandro, Tbilisi
Two stores for the Paris fashion houses on Tbilisi’s main avenue: façades and fit-outs in historic buildings, each true to its brand’s standards.
Only One Residential Complex
Design development of a residential complex: light stone façades with colonnaded upper floors and corner towers with deep terraces.
Houses and residences
Private houses and residences. Each one starts from an original design idea and its own palette of materials and colours.
Trusted by more than 40 brands and companies
Our team has designed for international fashion houses, retail networks, hotel groups, developers and engineering firms. Many of them come back: our team has designed stores for Polo Ralph Lauren in Budapest, Athens and Tbilisi, four stores for New Yorker in Georgia, and four stores in two cities for Maje and Sandro.
For brands we work as an extension of their own design office, in their templates, layer conventions and BIM standards. Some of our work for international brands is under NDA and is not shown here.

What we do

Architecture and interiors
Hotels, housing, offices and public buildings, and the careful reconstruction of historic buildings. Interiors designed down to the last detail, with their own palette of materials, colours and light.
