Mikou Design Studio was founded in 2005 by Selma Mikou and Salwa Mikou, after many years working with many architects, in particular Renzo Piano and Jean Nouvel. Mikou Design Studio is a place of creation and experimentation in architecture and its inter-disciplinary cross-fertilisation. The designing process, with a workshop spirit, puts into gear a team of architects, engineers, graphic artists, scenographers and town planners from very different cultural backgrounds.
Mikou Design Studio is currently involved in a large number of projects throughout France, Germany, Brazil and Morocco, with a focus on cultural and educational buildings, housing and offices.
