Architecture & Interiors · Oslo / Copenhagen
Scale 1 : 200
N 59°54′ · Est. 2018
An architecture and interior practice working at the slow intersection of landscape, light, and material.
We build slowly, so the building can last quietly.
Every project begins on foot. We walk the site at three different hours of the day, in two different seasons if the timeline allows it. Drawings come later, after we understand the light.
Our work favours stone, oak, and lime over gesture. We design fewer projects each year than most studios our size, and we accept that as a permanent condition of the practice.
