Our philosophy

 

Our design language is long-lasting;

 

In Mikkro, when we talk about a space, we talk about its qualities, the weight of materials, the effect of light and colour.  Our main attention is paid on how the space is used, how the movements flow and in which way our work can improve your everyday living experience. We value timeless aesthetics more than fashion trends and we create spaces that can evolve with you through the years. 

 

Your design journey is unique;

 

Every space has its own story to tell. Every space evokes emotions and creates impressions that are not purely visual. Human spaces don’t work with one sense alone. They come in many different colors and accents, just like their inhabitants. So does yours. This is why in Mikkro we invest, first and foremost, in understanding your individual special qualities, your needs and wishes, and create spaces that can narrate your own, unique story.

 

Our designs are products of high expertise;

 

With our architecture background, we know that only a well-designed space is a space aesthetically pleasing. We think in details and balance out any construction / aesthetic issue in every stage of the project. We work with people that can translate any design in reality and deliver detailed craftsmanship in time. In Mikkro, we keep a holistic approach to our projects and every design decision is a knowledge – based decision.
