Patina Arkitekter is an interdisciplinary practice for architecture and fabrication that specialises in small scale projects from architecture to furniture & objects.
The practice works with cultural heritage
and physical contexts that require sensitive responses in the build architecture and seeks to create projects with a long architectural life.
With an investigative starting point, I work with constructions and materials, which associations they evoke and which atmospheric expressions they can contribute to. I design with imagination and empathy and develop my projects with a fascination for construction techniques and constructive elements, which inform and shape the aesthetic appearance of the projects. I believe it is important to choose materials carefully, detail them thoroughly and understand how they will age. Through my work with architectural cultural heritage, and the built environment in general, I see, in addition to the protected, the preservation-worthy and the old, a great quality in everyday architecture, which has not previously been the subject of attention in relation to architectural cultural heritage.
Educated with a master's degree in architecture from the Aarhus School of Architecture, teaching programme 1B, Architectural Cultural Heritage, RIBA II and trained as an architect in the office of Norrøn, Thi & Dencker, Aarhus Hildrum and ReVærk.
