With over 140 completed projects, Kokaistudios adheres to a design philosophy that welcomes challenges:
Throughout our 12 years in China we learned that great design on paper does not always translate into great projects and that the process of development is complex and filled with both dangers and opportunities to create exceptional projects.
We have embraced those challenges to create projects that benefit the people who live, work and play in them and add positively to the urban fabric of the cities in which they are located.
Kokaistudios joins fellow architecture firm Aedas at Architect@Work, with more firms to be announced soon.
