Studio Neida

Studio NEiDA is an interdisciplinary architecture, design, curatorial and research practice based in West Africa and Europe. Founders Jeanne Autran-Edorh and Fabiola Büchele met in 2019 while working at Studio Francis Kéré. They design and realise projects in and around space. Studio NEİDA veers towards afrocentricity and is in dialogue with local knowledge and crafts. Their work is committed to an equitable production process. They recently completed a guesthouse in Togo and are working on projects in West Africa, Europa and the virtual realm. The founders previously worked for award-winning architects and prominent art institutions across three continents. They built an expertise for projects of various scales and diverse geographies dedicated to spatial quality, inclusivity and sustainability. As an extension of their practice they teach and participate in public discourse as well as produce media and partake in contemporary art and dance productions. They work in English, French and German.
