About

KOKO was established in Tallin after the Estonian pavilion of EXPO 2000 had been completed. KOKO has amassed a portfolio studded with brand-new buildings alongside sensitive restorations of some of the region's most prized historical gems. The team's particular passion is for the latter, breathing new life into old architecture. The group aims to tap into the deeper archetypes and stories behind the buildings, and do it in a way that doesn’t just preserve centuries of history but adds a modern yet timeless twist for just as many years to come. Their approach is underpinned a Nordic ethos in mapping the building's "genome" and finding the ideal point of equilibrium between the old and the new. One of KOKO's international best-known landmarks is Fahle House, which won the Estonian Annual Prize for Architecture and was shortlisted for Design of the Year by London Design Museum, represented an ambitious enhancement on a historical structure. The group is particularly interested in presenting itself by revealing how experiences and working environments moulded their approach during years. In this frame, they are also interested in introducing their work trough video productions: "Game of houses" is a video portfolio offering an overview on the most relevant projects completed by the office, while "Skapet" introduces the self-catering mountain lodges for the hiking trail in Norway mountains.
