At Gala, collaboration is at the heart of everything we do. Whether in the studio or working side by side with clients and partners, it’s this shared journey that allows us to craft spaces that embody both your vision and our design philosophy.
At Gala, our philosophy is rooted in passive design, thoughtful planning, and spaces that flow naturally. Every project is guided by a desire to simplify the challenges of everyday life—bringing comfort, clarity, and elegance through architecture that is intentional and refined.

Gala (Elena Diakonova) becomes Dalí’s lifelong muse—poise, precision, and surreal confidence that turns ideas into icons.
Gala’s influence helps fuse the rational with the dreamlike—strange forms made livable, beautiful, and balanced.
GALA Design launches with her name as its guiding principle: every bold form must feel human, intimate, and precise—imaginative yet constructible, surreal warmth with real-world rigor.
GALA Design brings Gala’s spirit to clients: surprising forms, timeless materials, and plans that work on day one.
