Peyman Kiani Falavarjani was born on 10th June 1984, in Esfahan, Iran. He grew up in a family with an industrial background; therefore, he had to work in his father's workshop from childhood until the end of high school. But although he had good talent in the industry, he had loved buildings since he was a child. He holds a Bachelor of Architecture degree from Glastonbury University. Later in 2012, he completed his master's degree in architecture. He is passionate about designing buildings where people are happy, like a hotel, bars, and restaurants. He believes a good design in a place should make people want to be there many times or travel to that place. He considers the emotional connection between the space and its user a critical factor, followed by aesthetics, ergonomics, usability, and functionality, defining a good design. This is the perspective that forms his manifest as an architect.

Since 2013, the group has focused exclusively on hotels, restaurants, and bars, which have resulted in many prosperous projects in Iran and other countries. More than 34 prizes from some international design awards have been achieved in these years.
