THE House of Ci
A design and build house, built on listening.
Cedrus International® House of Ci unites design, engineering and delivery in one home. Here is the story, the method and the standard behind the name.
OUR STORY
From the cedar to the city.
The name carries the whole idea. Cedrus recalls the cedar tree: strength, patience and timeless grace. International, in turn, is the promise to bring that standard to any city.
For more than twenty years, this design and build house has shaped places for leaders in business, culture and government. What began as an interior studio grew into a full house of nineteen solutions. Yet the habit at the heart of it never changed. We listen first. Next, we see clearly. Then we create.
Our vision.
Above all, to be the house that leaders trust with their boldest places — in every city we serve.
Our mission.
To carry each vision from the first sketch to the final key with one team and one standard. In other words, the idea arrives intact.
OUR VALUES
What the house holds true.
Care
Every brief holds a person’s hope. So we listen before we draw.
Precision
Beauty needs a spine. Therefore, every detail carries a drawing, a spec and a name.
Imagination
The future is a material here. Likewise, research and art enter every project early.
Accountability
One team answers for the whole. As a result, promises survive the site.
Six practices, one house.
Design · Engineering & Compliance · Delivery & Craft · Identity & Technology · Places & Experiences · Content & Destinations
Certainly, each practice can stand alone. Together, they cover the whole life of a place. See how they combine across our nineteen solutions.
THE CRAFT
Drawn by hand, proven by model.
Indeed, ideas take physical form early in this house. For instance, scale models, material boards and full-size samples test each choice before site work. Meanwhile, one shared building model keeps every trade aligned. So surprises stay in the studio — never on your program.
TEN CITIES · ONE STANDARD
At home in ten cities.
Riyadh • Dubai • Beirut • Milan • Barcelona • Paris • London • New York • Los Angeles • Bogotá
Our headquarters stands in New York. Meanwhile, Riyadh anchors our work in the Kingdom and our deep commitment to Saudi Vision 2030. Above all, every city receives the same standard of care.
RESEARCH
House of Ci Lab.
The Lab studies how places will live tomorrow. For example, digital twins, immersive review and new materials enter each project on day one. Therefore, the future lands as a tested detail, never as a gamble.
