Architects Directory 2020: Lenschow & Pihlmann, Denmark

Ranging from student accommodation to private housing and Nordic cabins, the work of Danish practice Lenschow & Pihlmann is underlined by a subtle sophistication, in both forms and material, and rooted in the country’s traditions. Established by Kim Lenschow Andersen and Søren Thirup Pihlmann in 2015, this dynamic architecture firm is based in Copenhagen.

The architects decided to work with the island’s longhouse vernacular for their latest residential commission; yet giving it a contemporary twist. So, the new structure feels simple and robust, as those old houses would, and its simple, almost archetypal residential outline is long and low, featuring a continuous pitched roof. Inside, a large double height, open plan space with mezzanine forms the generous, main living areas, blending uses and daily activities.

At the same time, the design is defined by a great level of refinement, made out of carefully picked, tactile surfaces in natural materials that help compose a soft, almost minimalist - yet not stark - setting. The exterior features clay tiles and warm terracotta tone render, and inside, bricks and joinery in various wood species create a cocooning environment. At the same time powder coated steel offers variety through a material accent in the kitchen.

Even though the firm’s first project was not a house – it was a temporary pavilion, called the Orangery, on the grounds of the Gl. Holtegaard Art Gallery, say the architects - designing houses is very important for the young firm.Share your email to receive our daily digest of inspiration, escapism and design stories from around the worldPlease keep me up to date with special offers and news from Wallpaper and other brands within the TI Media.
