About

People, 
places and 
possibility.

Nyami Studio, established in September 2022, is a research-based design studio with a unique origin story. The founders crossed paths during a humanitarian construction project in rural Zambia, where they collaborated on designing and constructing a kindergarten for the children of Shiyala Village.

Nyami Studio's mission revolves around empowering rural communities through knowledge sharing via NGOs, schools, and workshops. Committed to making a positive impact through research and construction, the studio also seeks to enhance construction education in underserved areas. The founders aim to create transformative experiences and foster lasting relationships that extend beyond construction.

The studio places a strong emphasis on education that integrates real-life situations, providing a collaborative platform for solutions. They advocate for the significance of sustainable, carbon-zero design and its long-term benefits. Nyami Studio, as a research-based entity, is dedicated to making a meaningful difference in the lives of the communities they assist and the individuals who engage with their projects.
