For many years, Berlin-based Florian Koehl has worked on the phenomenon of simultaneity in architecture. After teaching and working with Daniel Liebeskind for many years, Koehl opened FAT KOEHL ARCHITEKTEN in order to develop and realize his own ideas. His first project, a housing block in the centre of Berlin became a testing field. Koehl not only designed the building but, together with artist Anne von Gwinner, bought the site, found the clients, and co-designed with them. The result is ten houses within one house. This exhibition tells the story of design-and-build relationships between the architect and each of ten clients.
   
Neil Minuk is a renowned Winnipeg architect and curator whose most recent projects include the new Plug In ICA, Winnipeg. He teaches at the University of Manitoba Faculty of Architecture and directs the School’s exhibition program, where +1 House… was first presented.
