GUR Studio is an architecture and interior design practice based in Albania, designing thoughtful commercial and residential spaces for clients worldwide. Founded and operating as a freelance practice available for international commissions, the studio has built one of the most prolific and visually consistent commercial interior portfolios on Behance, accumulating over 1.27 million project views and 131,000 appreciations from an international audience of designers, architects and clients, with four projects featured in the Behance Interior Design gallery.

The studio specialises in the design of bars, cafes, restaurants, pop-up spaces, clothing stores and cosmetic retail environments, bringing a refined, contemporary visual language to commercial interiors that need to communicate a brand identity as clearly as they need to function as a business.

GUR Studio designs commercial interiors of exceptional visual quality for hospitality, retail and pop-up clients across the world, working from initial concept through to complete visualisation and project documentation. The studio's output is defined by a consistent aesthetic intelligence, a strong command of material and lighting atmosphere, and the ability to develop a completely distinct visual identity for each project while maintaining a recognisable creative voice across the entire portfolio.
With over 1.27 million project views and 131,000 appreciations on Behance since joining the platform in February 2023, GUR Studio has established itself as one of the fastest-growing and most followed commercial interior design practices in the Balkans and beyond. Four projects have been featured in the Behance Interior Design gallery, a distinction reserved for the most outstanding interior design work published on the platform.
The studio's 2026 project list demonstrates an extraordinary pace and consistency of output. SAFI Bar and Cafe, ALUM Pop-Up Cafe, Orana Bar and Cafe and NOOR Yard Cafe all represent the studio's continued refinement of its approach to hospitality interiors, each with its own distinct material palette, spatial concept and brand identity. MOKKA Cafe, already the studio's most appreciated recent project with over 8,500 appreciations and 524 views, has drawn significant international attention for the quality of its lighting design and material composition. CONTINUM Cafe and Bakery, Impasto Rosso Pizzeria, Minta Bar and Cafe, BEAUTÉ Skincare Pop-Up and VIRELLI Clothing Store complete a year of output that covers every typology within the studio's commercial specialism.
Earlier projects including RECYCLE Pop-Up Cafe, BLUO Bar and Cafe, FLAME Cafe and STRO Cafe have each been featured in the Behance Interior Design gallery and together demonstrate the range and consistency that has driven the studio's remarkable audience growth. CAVA and Arden House round out a portfolio that already comfortably spans the full breadth of commercial and residential interior design.
