Hogr is founder and CEO of GoshaArch GoshaArch is involved in designing and realizing a diverse array of urban, cultural and commercial projects around the globe. GoshaArch is a collaboration of architects and designers that believe architecture is a practice of optimism. GoshaArch approach our projects with the attitude that to make great places, you must believe in the future, with respect of the past.

GoshaArch architecture emerges from the idea that a designs should be expressive and reflect contemporary life. Innovation is at the core of our design process. We believe that bold design must be realized with sustainable technology and we strongly believe that the art of architecture lies in creating a maximum impact within the constraints of budgets and functionality. We know from experience that great architecture comes from working with great clients; however, architecture is a public art and we hold ourselves accountable not only to the client, but to the communities, and cities in which we build.
