OOAK

OOAK is a Greek-Swedish architecture studio driven by Maria Papafigou and Johan Annerhed. Small in size, the office works with projects of different scales in a broad variety of environments around the globe, sensitively approaching each project in the context of its own conditions and needs. We aim to create one of a kind projects with distinct identities. Characteristics such as program, physical and cultural context, climate and people are specific attributes that often are the driving forces for the design process. We strive for an identity of the project, not the practice. A strong and distinct concept, tailored specifically for each and every project, is developed through research and analysis of the local attributes and characteristics, which become the core and foundation of the design. From the concept stage forward, the project continues to evolve throughout an intense and dynamic design process that allows us to further investigate and develop our ideas using different mediums. Every project is always followed up closely through every stage of the design process until completion. The final result is a finished building, a unique outcome that is ultimately a translation of the concept into built form.
