I'm Giorgia Cedro, an Italian-registered architect living in New York City. I founded Olbos Studio in 2020, a Brooklyn-based architecture, design, and interiors practice quickly recognized for design originality, innovation, and detailing mastery. Our projects span residential, commercial, and institutional work across New York and Europe, driven by curiosity and a design language that remains sober yet playful. My work aims to bring out the clients' personalities and the context's character, with a peculiar attention to details and narrow spaces. The studio's name references olbos, the ancient Greek notion of bliss that comes from using one's talents well—a guiding ethos I apply to the design of space. Olbos Studio pursues freshness and liveliness at every design level, from concept and graphic representation to the built environment.
