Patina Arkitekter is an interdisciplinary practice for architecture and fabrication that specialises in small scale projects from architecture to furniture & objects.

With patina as a central motif, the purpose of the architectural practice is to revive an approach to architecture that tells a story of the passage of time, giving buildings character and soul, as well as fostering an ambition to once again construct buildings that endure and that we cherish.

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.
