About Kinzo
We are a Berlin-founded architecture firm with a special focus on interior design, New Work and building in existing contexts. In an international team we develop special spaces that bring people together. We advise and design for more innovation, quality, efficiency and sustainability.
Our Vision: Create Places To Be
We create places that attract and inspire people again and again. Sustainable, successful and unique. To achieve this, we look at the city, the culture, the architecture – and, of course, the users who move around in it. Their perspective is our most important planning tool.
