From his early years in Hamburg, Chris Middleton cultivated a strong sense of space, culture, and creativity.
Trained in Architecture at the Universität der Künste and Technische Universität Berlin, he soon co-founded Kinzo Studio in 2005, after years of exploring Berlin’s cultural scene, most notably through the Kinzo Club, which would later inspire the name of the studio.

Kinzo was born in Berlin in 2005, founded by three architects who once ran a club of the same name, transforming their shared vision into a design studio focused on innovative and collaborative workspaces.
Based in Berlin, Munich, and Hamburg, Kinzo develops architecture and interior projects that combine strategy, reuse, and strong client collaboration—reshaping offices and urban spaces across Europe.

"The ordinary is something everyone knows, we aim to take the ordinary and elevate it to the next level.
We want to merge the aesthetic side with the functional side to create something surprising and new.
Space doesn’t have a limit, it can be small and delicate, but also large and impressive."
For me, light is not just a tool, it's a language. It shapes space, creates emotion, and brings meaning to architecture." - Chris Midddleton
