The workshop is working on the renovation of a five-story building in Seoul, South Korea for the Astier de Villatte house. The work is in progress!
MMNK has been selected for the 2nd phase of a competition regarding the transformation of a village square in the Zürich Canton, Switzerland. The exhibition of the projects is planned for autumn 2021.
Studio
Marion Mouny and Katia Naouri founded the mmnk architecture and urban planning workshop between Paris and Zürich in 2018.
The studio’s production is defined as a territorial architecture. The projects resonate with the same attention for landscape, kow-how, materiality and uses. From the study of territories to the transformation of the built heritage, and to the design of objects, their values are declined over the scales: weaving links, revealing delicately and inserting oneself with care.
The complementary profiles of the two partners make it possible to approach each project with a broad and territorial vision, attentive to the interactions that constitute it while promoting a practice that is sensitive to details and materials. This four-handed work results in an architecture anchored in its territory composed of simple forms and devices draped in poetry.
