We are Unknown Works.
We are bold, experimental, global architects. Our pioneering projects span the broadest spectrum of typologies and are located across Europe, the Middle East, Sub-Saharan Africa and Asia.
Our clients are private individuals, institutions, foundations and museums, as well as commercial brands ranging from start-ups to multinational giants.
The practice’s approach is to be curious and critical, serious and honest. We seek to add tangible value for our clients on every project, creating positive outcomes that are refined, sophisticated, playful and have lasting ecological, cultural and social impact. As a studio, we are cross-pollinators and collaborators and thrive on forging unexpected relationships and new connections. We embrace difficulty because we believe design at its core is about problem-solving.
We’ve designed everything from a rainforest research station, a fish and chip shop in China, a forest performance theatre, a sustainable truck refuelling station, an architecture gallery, an electric vehicles retail store and an energy gallery to an off-grid community hub in a refugee settlement in Uganda. We’re always hungry for more ways to refine and add to our understanding of people, place, purpose, culture, community, space and materials. No project is too large, too small, too unusual, too challenging.
