We build spaces that can grow, be reimagined, and shared For us architecture is a living process, which can adapt and grow with people. Our work fosters experience over possession.
SELECTED PROJECTS
Vores Sted (Our Place) celebrates the 25th anniversary of the Danish philanthropic foundation Realdania by providing 150 social gathering spaces free of charge to communities and associations across Denmark.
For the transformation of Thoravej 29 by Pihlmann Architects, Archival designed a high chair that is placed throughout the building. Knots, wind cracks, sapwood, and planer marks are intentionally included, demonstrating how both natural and human-made irregularities can serve as examples of sustainable practice and inviting details in an increasingly perfected world. In this way, the chair enters into a dialogue with the building itself.
Our method focuses on long-term collaborations. We work closely with clients to create sensory-rich, adaptable design solutions that evolve over time. Our ongoing collaboration with SMK reflects this approach, and we look forward to sharing the next phase of our work in the Entrance Hall. First phase covers the Welcome Desk zone. Here we created a welcoming, human-scale point of access within the museum’s vast entrance hall.
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.
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.
Set into a niche inside one of Holmen’s traditional boat sheds, our latest kitchen is designed to blend into the calm and creative atmosphere of contemporary lifestyle brand Norse Projects’ headquarters.
Located in the historic Tivoli Gardens, the space carried traces of its past - from café to Viking attraction. For this transformation, we sought to quiet the surroundings and center the experience around the grill. With deep green-black walls and ceiling, and a 10-meter-long white curtain as a soft focal point, the result is a calm, almost chapel-like atmosphere for this new attraction in Tivoli.
Exhibition design for the large experimental show at the intersection of art and architecture: Reset Materials – Towards Sustainable Architecture
Rockfon’s modular exhibition system was designed to frame and uplift the products on display. The structure of CNC-milled plywood was designed for disassebly to be taken apart to travel between exhibitions. This approach aims to minimize waste between events and allows the material to gain character and charm over time. The exhibition system was first implemented at Paris’ Workspace Expo in 2023, and has since been repurposed for exhibitions in Amsterdam and Malmö.
