Who We Are
Praxiss Practice, founded by Abdul-Rauf Issahaque (AGIA), is a Ghanaian architectural practice specializing in heritage integration and urban research. With skill in uncovering and connecting unique themes in urban planning, design, construction, and restoration, Praxiss bridges the gaps often encountered during projects through in-depth research extending beyond immediate project boundaries.
We serve a diverse clientele, including private individuals, developers, government and non-government institutions, as well as Architectural, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) firms and professionals. Our team excels in delivering comprehensive architectural design, construction documentation, and supervision services, alongside consultancy for AEC professionals with a focus on Building Information Modeling (BIM) coordination and documentation using advanced technologies.
Positioning itself as a mediator, Praxiss connects theory with practice, scientific and indigenous knowledge systems, histories and legacies, built and lived environments, and scales and disciplines. Additionally, the firm’s urban research delves into spatial, socio-cultural, ecological, and infrastructural dynamics, offering innovative solutions that honor heritage while addressing contemporary challenges. Praxiss is committed to crafting impactful spaces, fostering collaboration, and driving meaningful contributions to architecture and urban development.

Our goal is to inspire collaboration across disciplines and scales, shaping environments that endure and evolve with the generations they serve.
