(Overview)
Kōen Studio
Kōen designs small public buildings with generous courtyards. We traced the negative space of their five favourite plans and found a recurring notch — an entrance that bends inwards. It became the mark.
Drawn from the plan
The wordmark is set in a custom cut with the same inward notch on the K and N. It works as a stamp on drawings, as signage and as a favicon.
Paper as material
Stationery is printed on heavy architectural card and scored to fold into small freestanding forms — a nod to the models on every desk in the studio.
