Studio Coquille
Studio Coquille
Studio Coquille is an innovative design studio founded by architects Marion De Saint Blanquat Lingua and Frederik Mads Svendsen. The collaboration began in Milan in 2015 when they won the open design competition for the Lebanese pavilion at the Venice Biennale. Since then, they have received several awards for open architectural competitions.
The studio focuses on creating organic, sensory, and beautiful experiences that promote biological connections and co-creation between buildings and landscapes. In our architecture, we integrate different species to create richer and more dynamic ecosystems, which we consider a new welfare model and a sustainable approach to design.
We aim to establish enriching collaborations with experienced architects and innovative academics to develop creative solutions through research and natural processes. Our approach involves interdisciplinary collaboration with biologists, researchers, citizens, and artists in co-creative design processes.
Our goal is to create both large and microscopic corridors that restore the love for and understanding of nurturing and living in harmony with the biosphere. We strive to develop functional and aesthetically appealing green spaces that promote a harmonious coexistence between people and nature..
Before establishing their studio, Frederik and Marion cultivated their experiences in influential architectural environments. Frederik worked for Selgascano in Madrid, while Marion worked at Atelier Construire in Paris.

Creating new ecosystems
​
Manifesto : Can Animals, Nature, and Humans live holistically ?​ We see our role of architects as reimagining the relationship we build with Animals and Nature.
Today most of the places we are brought to build and live in are either urbanised settings or damaged landscapes, where the original natural form has long disappeared. With this understanding, we perceive our architectural projects as an opportunity to adapt and transform these places towards a better cohabitation. Perhaps a reborn ecosystem, offering a chance for all species to thrive in a post-wild world, where the built form has actually become the landscape for other animals.
Coquille reflects on what are those necessary tools for creating equality between ecosystems in the built environment. Coquille projects are shaped by the state of the surrounding environment, and develop a playful language drawing inspiration from Nature. They aim to
to offer stimulating and sensory experiences for both humans and animals. An architecture focused on all species, we believe that the transformative power of aesthetics and educational/symbolic gestures can arouse curiosity in us humans, guiding our interactions with animals, plants, and our planet.
