A complete design-build practice for high-end residential and commercial projects in Addis Ababa. Architect Samson Getachew leads design; contractor Beniam Tilahun leads build — one accountable partnership from the first sketch to handover.
Every project begins with the brief — your life, your business, the realities of the site. We translate that into floor plans, massing studies, material palettes, and detail drawings that earn their place in construction. Our drawings are produced for builders, not for portfolios — so what's drawn is what's built.
We work in 3D from day one and present concepts with photoreal renderings so you can feel the space before we break ground.
Custom homes and villas across Addis Ababa — Bole, Sarbet, CMC, Old Airport, Megenagna, Ayat, Summit, Lebu. We build from a clean slate or remodel an existing structure. Stone, concrete, glass, hardwood — we work in the materials that make Ethiopian luxury distinctive.
Apartment building projects benefit from the same discipline: a single architectural vision, executed by a contractor who's responsible to it.
Strategic commercial remodels in Addis Ababa — offices, retail, restaurants, boutique hospitality. We transform existing space to elevate brand, operations, and resale value, without losing weeks of revenue to a slow build.
Interior design that's structurally aware. Because we build what we draw, our interior plans account for HVAC, electrical, and plumbing realities from day one — meaning fewer site changes and tighter execution.
We curate material palettes, specify lighting, source furniture, and through our sister company 2:20 Woodworks, we build cabinetry and millwork to the architect's drawings.
Beniam Tilahun and our site team supervise every project daily. Budgets are tracked weekly, schedules are real, and the site is run with discipline — clean, organized, and accountable. When the architect's drawing leaves the studio, it survives the journey to the site.
Bespoke kitchens, walk-in closets, vanities, doors, and stone-and-wood sinks — built in our own shop, finished by hand, made to the architect's drawings. We use Ethiopian hardwoods and imported veneers, paired with stone and metal details.
