Copenhagen · Since 2006
Architecture for long winters and bright summers.
We design homes and public spaces that welcome daylight, honour local timber, and feel quietly at home in the landscape.
Havn is a small studio working across Denmark and southern Sweden. Our practice is slow, collaborative, and grounded in craft traditions we adapt for contemporary life.
Work
A selection of residential and community projects from the last five years.
Philosophy
Nordic living asks architecture to do more with less — less noise, less waste, more warmth where it matters.
-
Daylight as material
We orient, open, and reflect light before choosing finishes. Rooms should breathe with the season.
-
Local timber & stone
Oak, pine, and granite sourced within the region — chosen for how they age, not how they trend.
-
Built to endure
Low-maintenance envelopes, honest joints, and layouts that adapt as families grow.
The studio
Eight architects, two landscape collaborators, and a workshop for model-making share a harbour-side studio in Christianshavn. We take on eight to ten projects at a time so every client works directly with a partner.
Our work has been recognised by the Danish Architecture Association and featured in Arkitektur DK, Dezeen, and ArchDaily.
