Hello
This is Piknik.
Piknik is Electric Blue.
Piknik is Electric Blue.
Piknik Works is an architecture practice based in Istanbul and Vienna, working across multiple scales and typologies, from buildings to interiors.
The studio adopts a multi-directional approach, engaging with different disciplines and mediums to produce precise and carefully considered design.
Piknik draws from both contemporary culture and accumulated architectural knowledge, operating between the contemprary and the timeless qualities of spatiality.
Piknik aims at spaciousness as a core value; engages with everyday life through concise details, while employing both the narrative and atmospheric capacities of space.
Piknik does not draw a strict boundary between art and architecture, but rather works through their interrelations. Architecture is understood as a performative act, continuously nourished by research and ongoing exploration.
For Piknik, speculation and experimentality is the power behind realisation of truely good ideas.
Piknik’s work has been exhibited internationally and recognized with national and international awards. Projects have been realized in cities including Istanbul, İzmir, Ankara, Paris, Milan, Dubai, and Vienna.
