Studio Toggle Architects

Studio Toggle was established in 2012 by Architects Hend Almatrouk and Gijo Paul George, both masters graduates from die Angewandte, Vienna, Austria. The practice focuses on logical design and problem-solving techniques with a specific emphasis on Architecture and Urban Design. We believe in a balance between the opposites, that form follows function, the simplicity is complex, and that even chaos can be organized. Our expertise ranges from public-sector, commercial, residential and hospitality architecture to interior design. Based in Kuwait City, Studio Toggle has designed, supervised and handed over more than 6 projects including private villas, apartments, pavilions and retail interiors, all in the short 5 years of being operational.

The work done by the Studio Toggle has been acclaimed in the region as evidenced by the various awards won by the practice including the Middle East Architect Residential Project of the Year 2016 for its project F.LOT. Studio Toggle’s projects have been published in local and international magazines in both print and online media. The practice continues to push the boundaries of design sensibilities in the region and beyond. To that effect, Studio Toggle opened its branch in the city of Porto, Portugal in 2015 and continues its explorations in the field of sustainability, digital design, and fabrication.
