Ganko

ganko is an architecture practice based in Milan, in via Benaco, led by partners Nicolà Munaretto and Guido Tesio. Both graduated from the Polytechnic University of Milan and worked with practices including Onsitestudio, Baukuh, Office Kersten Geers David Van Severen and Christ & Gantenbein before founding the studio.

The office works across scales and disciplines, from urban planning and architecture to interior design and scenography for exhibitions and events. ganko understands architecture as a negotiation between desire and possibility, between subject and context, favouring a certain classicism within the modernist tradition while embracing the unpredictable outcomes of a rational method. It handles residential, commercial and industrial commissions, and is active in research, publishing and education.
