Storaket (Armenian: [stɔɾɑˈkɛt]) is a comma – punctuation mark, that symbolises the moment when two ideas merge to create a new statement of increased depth, complexity and meaning.
Founded in 2007 by Meroujan Minassian and Narbeh Bedrossian, Storaket is a platform for rethinking, generating ideas, and fostering dialogue between different architectural styles and languages, where the combination of diverse concepts creates new meanings.
Based in Yerevan, Vanadzor, Montreal and Moscow, together we tackle contemporary architectural and urban challenges through rigorous contextual analysis, revealing the unique characteristics of each site and environment.
Central to our approach is a collaborative, research-driven design process. We create innovative, tailored solutions that address each project’s unique needs with the diverse skills and global expertise of our team. Our human-centric philosophy emphasises creating sustainable and holistic environments that honour the historical and cultural spirit of each space while pushing the boundaries of technical innovation and formal experimentation.
Our projects challenge conventional forms, focussing on creating architecture that emphasise spatial experimentation and sustainable strategies. Each project incorporates strategic elements that fuse innovative design with practical functionality, ensuring a seamless transition into the urban environment.
With a team that brings a wealth of local and international experience, Storaket operates with conceptual rigour and a deep commitment to social, cultural, and environmental responsibility. Through a personalised and detail-oriented approach, we serve as trusted advisors and thoughtful partners for projects of all scales, whether they involve new construction, restoration, or expansion.
