KITOKO studio

Kitoko… means « beauty » in lingala (Congo’s language).

Every piece of architecture has to be « beautiful » and unique. Beautiful, not just from an aesthetic point of view, but because it is integrated harmoniously to its urban, social and economic context ; beautiful as well thanks to the solutions it brings and finally, beautiful by the quality of its details.

Although beauty is a very subjective concept and architecture is a field unknown of certain, each one of us can still experiment and, therefore, appreciate a well-thought architecture. Thus, the search of a meaning is a one of the main factor that leads to beauty. Every piece of architecture can become beautiful as it has a meaning. It is this search for meaning and solutions which directs our vision of architecture.

KITOKO STUDIO is a multidisciplinary practice of contemporary architecture, interior design, urban planning and landscape. The studio is also involved in furniture design projects. Our work, even at these different scales, is always done by paying attention to the context, to the budget and above all, to the respect our client’s wishes. We focus on communicating and sharing ideas among our partners in order to create projects that go beyond our clients’ expectations. From the urban planning to the furniture design, every project is born from a strong concept which is developed until its last detail.
