At Archival, we approach architecture from the inside out — what we call interior architecture. With its faster turnaround times, lighter regulatory demands, and smaller risk assessments, interior architecture offers a dynamic platform for showcasing examples and shaping the emerging discourse of transformation.

We begin each process by understanding the already existing. That is a carefull analysis of the context, client, and ressources. We do this
in order to design as little as possible. Creating space for history, culture and people who are the real root for a harmonious transformation over time.

For every project we carefully study the potentials of the place or situation, the possibilities for architecture and how to build in the future.
Stimulating places to unfold organically feeling truly alive.

We like to think that architects build. If that may be designing, drawing, planning and administration, it all eventually comes down to the act of building. We as architects should first and foremost think within this paradigm of building instead of merely planning.

We strive to set new standards for materials and construction to shape a contemporary definition of architecture that addresses the numerous challenges our planet faces today. In this new definition, we emphasize viewing every piece of material as a valuable resource, with transformation and renovation as guiding principles.

Our in-house workshop and prototyping, ensures this deep material understanding. Our CNC-equipped workshop fosters direct engagement with materials, enabling us to push beyond standardized practices and promote design for disassembly.

As a result, the built then becomes exactly what we see and touch, exactly what we feel beneath our feet.

Currently, there are no open positions at the studio. Please keep an eye on our Instagram and website for future announcements.
Due to the high volume of interest, we can only respond to solicited applications.
