HISTORY
I.O.G. Arhitectura is a design office founded by Omid Ghannadi and Ilinca Rădulescu in 2008. The office practice is defined by the desire to make architecture like a tailor's shop, with attention to the details that make a design become one of a kind.
SPECIFIC
One can easily recognize the OG style by the uncanny mix of materials, colors and textures that’s recreating a specific language for each space.

The story behind Sector 1 Art Gallery starts with the desire of a special person, Andreea Stănculeanu, to bring into the spotlight contemporary artists from the west of Romania. When you add up a smooth collaboration between architect and client, the project becomes beautiful through its simplicity.
The theme was to have a flexible space that would become a background for future exhibitions. The gallery is situated in a fervid space, Combinatul Fondului Plastic, Bucharest. At first, the space seemed to be unusable due to the advanced state of degradation, so the main facade was removed and rehabilitated. The main door is hand-made at the site to resemble the original one.
For the interior space, planning a minimal intervention that would accommodate the most exhibition area was desired. The auxiliary rooms occupy one wall with a light construction. The original wall is left with the existing brick cladding. Thus, the space becomes a neat background that hosts the gallery's exhibitions.
