We are an architecture studio and a carpentry workshop. Yes, we do love and believe in the importance of great craftsmanship for changing the world for the better. We design and build small scale projects such as housing, urban interventions, pavilions and furniture for both public and private clients. Building Architecture is a collaboration between Tan & Blixenkrone and Thomas Harboe Architects. We are based in Copenhagen but love traveling for projects.

On a 20-year-old foundation, we are constructing an annex to a small log cabin. The roof overhang is supported by untreated tree trunks. The extension is built using wood, which is alive and breathes while absorbing CO2. We have taken inspiration from the unique features of the main house and the homeowner’s nostalgic stories of the sound of rain during a memorable period. Drawing from the character of the main house and the homeowner’s narratives, we have designed an annex that not only serves practical purposes but also carries a distinct aesthetic and emotional value for the homeowner.

 

På et 20-årigt gammelt fundament bygger vi et anneks til et lille bjælkehus. Tagudhænget bæres af rå træstammer. Annekset er bygget i træ, lever og ånder mens det optager CO2. Vi har draget inspiration fra hovedhusets skævheder og bygherres nostalgiske fortællinger om lyden af regn fra en mindeværdig tid. Inspireret af hovedhusets karakter og bygherres fortællinger har vi tegnet et anneks, der ikke kun opfylder praktiske behov, men også har en særlig æstetisk og emotionel betydning for bygherren.
