OXO is a Paris-based group of architects, designers and thinkers operating within the fields of architecture, urbanism, research and development, founded by Manal Rachdi in 2004. OXO has created a reputation for completing buildings that are as programmatically and sustainably innovative, as they are cost and resource conscious.
Manal Rachdi has created OXO Architects with the purpose of developing architectural systems that transform research and practice analysis, as well as some theoretical issues, into design forces.
Through several award-winning projects, Manal Rachdi has established international reputation among architects of his time. He stands out among his generation for combining thoughtful analysis, playful experimentation, social responsibility and sense of humor to his practice. His international notoriety has been settled through projects that follow avant-garde in technical and programmatic functions, and are reasonable in resources and costs.
