In 2024, Homeis published an in-depth interview with STIPFOLD founder and Creative Director Beka Phkhakadze, focusing on the studio's philosophy, creative process, and long-term vision for architecture.
Rather than presenting completed projects alone, the conversation explored the ideas that shape them. Topics ranged from childhood ambitions and the early years of the studio to the importance of developing a distinct architectural identity in a highly competitive global industry. The interview also examined STIPFOLD's belief that architecture and interior design should be conceived as a single organism, rather than separate disciplines.
A significant part of the discussion focused on experimentation, emerging technologies, and the future of design. Phkhakadze shared his perspective on artificial intelligence, parametric architecture, and the evolving role of architects as creative directors capable of connecting disciplines, technologies, and human experience.
The interview offered readers an opportunity to look beyond finished buildings and understand the principles driving STIPFOLD's work: curiosity, experimentation, and the ambition to create architecture that remains relevant beyond current trends.
Published by Homeis, the feature became part of the studio's growing public archive documenting both completed work and the ideas behind it.
