Norm Architects — Design and architecture studio

“We call it Soft Minimalism and consider it an ongoing study of ours; in human contentment and in creating wholesome, lasting environments.”

About:

Founded in 2008 by Kasper Rønn Von Lotzbeck and Jonas Bjerre-Poulsen.

Much like human well-being, the essence of Norm Architects’ work is found in balance – between richness and restraint, between order and complexity. Each project – whether architecture, interiors, design or creative direction – is imbued with the same intrinsic quality: a simplicity that carries bigger ideas. Guided by the body and mind rather than by trends or technology, their projects explore ideas that not only look good but that also feel good: Architecture becomes thoughtful, minimalism acquires softness and visual matter assumes haptic qualities. Their work is sharp and crisp and exudes, tacitly, our focus on quality, details and durability. Situated in the heart of Copenhagen, Denmark, they respect their context and build on the traditions of Scandinavian design – of timeless aesthetics, natural materials and upholding Modernist principles of restraint and refinement. Through exploring what it is that heightens the human senses regardless of personal preference, their projects strip spaces, objects, ideas and images back to their simplest form – when there’s nothing more to either add or take away.
