About ECOU Studio
ECOU Studio is a blend of architecture, nature, and sustainability, best served together. Although we are a relatively young office, we are a team with a rich cumulative prior experience in urban planning, architecture, interior architecture, micro-architecture, temporary architecture, event scenography, art installations, exhibition design, furniture, and object design. We have not specialized in just one functional area or a specific scale of projects. Through our shared capacity for conceptualization, we can easily and innovatively tackle any type of project. We aim to bring sustainability, in all its forms, into our projects. From passivity to thermal and energy efficiency, through rather low-tech solutions that are not only simpler to implement but also more financially accessible. We aim to use as many local and organic materials as possible, to reuse and repurpose everything that is structurally viable, and to build less, only as much as needed.
