Archival Studies is a Copenhagen-based design practice that explores interior architecture for transformation and care of the existing.

Applying regenerative concepts, flexible building systems, and sensory-rich environments.

We actively engage with a network of partners, collaborating with private, public, and commercial clients.

INTERIOR 14 _ GAMMEL STRAND SHOP

As an integral part of Gammel Strand’s ongoing journey of reinvention, Archival Studies carried out first act of the art center’s physical transformation.

KITCHEN 11 _ NORSE PROJECTS

EXHIBITION 06 _ RESET MATERIALS

Exhibition design for the large experimental show at the intersection of art and architecture:
Reset Materials – Towards Sustainable Architecture

INTERIOR 05 _ ART HUB

Art Hub Copenhagen’s spatial transformation points towards a general path for how recycling can be rethought in architecture. When resources are not consumed but regenerated into value-creating elements recycling is not a necessary evil but the very catalyst of form and intention. Thus, this project operates sustainably on two intertwined levels: conservation of both resources and Kødbyen’s distinctive character. Find out more about this collaboration with Copenhagen-based Pihlmann Architects.

INTERIOR 06 _ KONA

Complete interior and inventory for Kōnā a Japanese-inspired eatery in Copenhagen. The translucent orange planes of textile shift in appearance and melt into an atmospheric cloud of colour that gives a stimulating warmth to the raw concrete space.
