COQUI MALACHOWSKA COQUI

Sus­tainable was yes­ter­day — rege­ne­ra­ti­ve is the future!

We have been desig­ning inno­va­ti­ve, cli­ma­te-posi­ti­ve, cir­cu­lar and resi­li­ent cities for over 20 years.
Our focus is on buil­ding in exis­ting con­texts and imple­men­ting the prin­ci­ples of the spon­ge city.
Vibrant spaces that streng­then the com­mu­ni­ty and shape the future are the goal of our inte­gra­ted plan­ning.

APPROACH

The essence of our design phi­lo­so­phy is based on the idea of desig­ning pro­jects not for their own glo­ry, but for the peo­p­le who will dwell and inter­act in the open spaces we design. By taking the approach of first put­ting the pro­ject into dia­lo­gue with its sur­roun­ding con­text and allo­wing it to unfold in that inter­ac­tion, we stri­ve to design open spaces that not only ser­ve their pur­po­se, but rai­se the qua­li­ty of life of tho­se who use them in a sub­stan­ti­al way. For us, sus­taina­bi­li­ty is not just a word, but an atti­tu­de that requi­res con­stant, sen­si­ti­ve con­side­ra­ti­on and com­plex plan­ning.

SUSTAINABILITY

The pur­su­it of qua­li­ty of life and ful­fill­ment is at the core of our gui­ding prin­ci­ples and is roo­ted in the expres­si­on of com­pre­hen­si­ve and sus­tainable design. The key fac­tor is not only the moment of com­ple­ti­on, but espe­ci­al­ly the impact of the pro­ject over the cour­se of time. Doing it jus­ti­ce, we set in each pro­ject per­so­na­li­zed accents that are inten­ded to crea­te an increase in value. In addi­ti­on to social sus­taina­bi­li­ty, we also see natu­re and cul­tu­re as part­ners in our work. We see it as our respon­si­bi­li­ty to pre­cis­e­ly defi­ne the indi­vi­du­al role as well as the rela­ti­onship bet­ween natu­re and cul­tu­re in each pro­ject.

In the office

CREATE SOMETHING TOGETHER

The gui­ding idea of our team­work in the land­scape archi­tec­tu­re office includes coll­ec­ti­ve crea­ti­on. We do not act alo­ne, but see our­sel­ves as part of an over­all struc­tu­re in which we share a pen with the cli­ent, plan­ning part­ners and respon­si­ble agen­ci­es. This sym­bio­tic dyna­mic enables us to work tog­e­ther, to com­bi­ne our exper­ti­se and thus to achie­ve coher­ent results. Our dai­ly office life is cha­rac­te­ri­zed by dis­cur­si­ve and equal pro­ces­ses. The deve­lo­p­ment of ide­as, the exch­an­ge of opi­ni­ons and the strugg­le for the best solu­ti­ons are essen­ti­al ele­ments of our dai­ly work. A non-hier­ar­chi­cal dis­tri­bu­ti­on of dis­cur­si­ve power makes it pos­si­ble to exploit crea­ti­ve poten­ti­al and deve­lop mul­ti-laye­red approa­ches.
