A green energy accumulator built with repurposed materials loaded with identity. For Malmö. From Malmö, with Malmö addresses how to integrate an infrastructural tower into its physical setting and the city's collective memory.

The solution lies in reusing materials from Malmö Stadion, originally built for the 1958 FIFA World Cup. By repurposing the stadium's materials, a connection to the city's history is preserved, while saving 500,000 kg of CO₂ in the construction process.

The Maritime Boarding School emerges from a close reading of Helsingør's historic fabric and the untapped potential of the 1938 Øresund Hospital. A single, precise extension unlocks the existing building's full capacity—enhancing its structure, proportions, and durability—while preserving 206 tons of embodied CO₂.

Facing the city, a one-storey community house becomes the campus's public face: a low-carbon, biobased structure of timber, reclaimed brick, and wood-fibre insulation, built entirely without concrete foundations.

Our proposal is not an end in itself, but a pause on the ascent to the historic Stave Church. The project is conceived as a modification of the existing path—a mountain trail that connects two topographic levels through a hairpin turn.

By embedding the volume partially into the mountainside, the building appears as a mere fold in the terrain, allowing the surrounding landscape to remain dedicated to the historic orchard.

A transformation and renovation project that fulfills the long-awaited expectations for living space for a young family in the city. A staircase as the most significant and perhaps symbolic element in an intense process involving fire class 2 and construction class 2 documentation.

The staircase as a celebration of the end of a long process and an enabler of a new and long-awaited life. Carefully selected normal materials, carefully treated and thoughtfully assembled to aestheticize the very act of connecting two apartments. Constructed from Danish Douglas pine, stained with linseed oil and stainless steel fittings.

A former workshop in Copenhagen Nordvest, transformed into a lively urban corner for the local community, despite a tight budget, fire safety challenges, and restrictive urban planning regulations.

With a pragmatic approach, we activated the front yard with a standard portable structure, which allowed the space to be used without altering the building's approved conditions from 1961. The interior spaces, with their industrial charm, were used for artistic performances and events.
