Civilian

CIVILIAN is a building and interior design studio that works with cultural institutions, forward-thinking companies, and creative individuals to tell their stories through design. They work across scales and disciplines, designing environments, objects and experiences that convey a sense of care and mood. Founded in 2018 by architects Nicko Elliott and Ksenia Kagner, the studio crafts a tailored design language in response to each project’s social, historical and material context, often collaborating with a trusted roster of creative partners to achieve an original vision. The studio is active in the residential, commercial and workplace sectors with clients from Newlab to Bard College.
