ABOUT US
OUR VALUES
TRUST
DILIGENCE
CONTINUOUS LEARNING
We are in this as a team, internally as part of Studio Ruh, but also with vendors, the armies on and off site, the contractors, and most importantly, our clients. All relationships are built on trust - and we're here to build strong, honest, long-term relationships.
We strive to do things with great care, being more and more thorough with constant and earnest effort to accomplish what is undertaken. We love attention to detail, and reflect the same in our work.
RESPECT
One thing we know for sure is that we do not know everything. We are a continuous work-in-progress, Â and we aren't shy of admitting it. You will catch us always looking for new materials, new/better ways of doing things, new details and new processes.
CO-CREATE
EMPATHY
We create personalized spaces through the desire and capacity to understand and feel what our clients are experiencing from within their frame of reference. We nurture and always aim to place ourselves in another's shoe while making all decisions.
We respect what we do and those we work with. This also means respecting ourselves, our word, our time, and our efforts. Â We are strong advocates of punctuality - and you'll always find us on time, at meetings, Â site visits or at our deliverables.
TRANSPARENCY
We believe great design is a collaborative process. We enjoy designing spaces with our clients - versus for them. The same virtue extends to collaborating with experts in various other fields - Lighting, Landscaping, Â Graphic, or any other avenue of design.
We believe in being open, honest and transparent within our company, but also to extend exactly the same and more to our vendors and clients. Transparency in conversation and in numbers - we are strictly against the kick-back/ commission system and always wish for our clients to gain maximum benefit from our association.
