We see architecture as a living process, which can adapt and grow with people. Our work fosters experience over possession.

Who
Established in 2018, Archival Studies is a Copenhagen-based design studio specialized in adaptive architecture and its spaces.
We operate from our own workshop space, allowing us to prototype and fabricate elements in-house. Pushing the bounderies of building standards.
Here we are designing not only spaces but also modular furniture, lighting solutions, and structural systems.
With our strong Scandinavian and East Asian roots and our digitally based workshop allows us to execute with a unique combination of precision, flexibility, and diverse outlook.
Our commercial projects span from consultancy, concept development, design development, 1:1 prototyping, project management, and construction administration.

How
We work across scales and disciplines to realize adaptive, meaningful and responsible solutions.
Our approach begins with a contextual analysis and unfolds through prototyping, co-creation, and real-world testing.
By combining traditional craft with digital fabrication, we enable systems that support disassembly and long-term adaptation.
Each project is approached holistically - from detail to social context - always with long-term care, reuse, and repurposing in mind.
We engage clients as active partners, ensuring every solution is tailored, inclusive, and alive.
