SKO

SKO, short for Sanya Ko Operations, is the Sofia studio of architect Sanya Kovacheva, who established the practice in 2018 after returning to Bulgaria. She built it on the technical base and experience of her father’s outdoor advertising company, MIM Studio, beginning with experimental work in laser cutting and engraving before moving into full architectural commissions.

Trained at VSU in Varna, IUAV in Venice and POLIMI in Milan, Kovacheva keeps the office multidisciplinary, treating architecture, product design, visual identity and web design as overlapping fields; recent projects run from FluxVeil and RKTN House to the SKO office and kragche.store. She also co-founded the Amorpha foundation and has led work on the temporary settlement for the Kozloduy nuclear plant.
