Ganko understands architectural design as a creative negotiation between desires and possibilities. Within the given material and cultural constraints, the office positively engages in a variety of projects, from institutional commissions to the most mundane areas of architectural production. Ganko is undoubtedly modern and strives for architecture that is as simple and precise in its presence as it is multifaceted and open in its experience.
