Kajob Architecture Brand identity for an architecture studio

Kajob is the brand of Parfait Kamaha Deutchui, an emerging architect who loves designing buildings and spaces that improve people's lives. I designed a visual identity for architecture that reflects his approach (tradition, innovation and community), designed first for Instagram and Facebook while the website is on its way.

01Logo concept

Culture and modernism: a K built like a building.

The sketch brings together a house under construction, the cultural side and geometry. The note that sums it up: “mix culture with architectural modernism”. The K comes from the square and the cube; the bars come from the three pillars. A logo design built the same way as an architecture project.

  • CultureThe idea behind the sketch: mixing culture with architectural modernism.
  • CommunityThe gabled roof holds community and tradition.
  • GeometryThe K comes from the square and the cube; the bars from the three pillars.
  • PerspectiveThe sketch works the K in three dimensions, like a house under construction.

02Symbol and construction

Three bars and a K.

The logo is a typographic construction of the letter K, made geometric for a cleaner synthesis. The roof holds community and tradition; the columns, the house under construction; the three bars, rising like a building, stand for innovation, culture and community. Everything converges in the K.

05Pattern and stationery

The repeated K forms a lattice.

The symbol repeats until it becomes a pattern reminiscent of the lattices of traditional architecture. It dresses the business stationery (cards, folders and notebooks) and gives the brand a resource of its own, recognisable even without the logo.

07Exploration

The pattern, turned into architecture.

The K pattern turned into a lattice: façades, courtyards and staircases where light draws the brand. A way of showing how branding for architecture can leave the page and reach the building.
