About INI
INI derives its name from the belief that meaningful design emerges from multiple interrelated “I’s” — Inquiry, Imagination, Innovation, Inspiration, Integration, Inclusiveness, and many more. Together, these principles guide the way we think, collaborate, and create, forming the foundation of INI’s design philosophy.
At its core, INI stands for Integrated Ideas — a philosophy that embodies the collaborative, multidisciplinary nature of our practice and our commitment to holistic, context-driven design solutions. INI Design Studio is an internationally recognised, award-winning multidisciplinary firm, ranked among the world’s top 100 architecture practices. Working across architecture, planning, urban design, interiors, landscape, engineering, sustainability, and research, INI integrates design excellence with technical rigour and a deep commitment to social, environmental, and cultural responsibility.
