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. Their newest single-family house on Fanø, an island in the Wadden Sea, was inspired by the area’s longhouses (a Danish residential typology hailing back to the Viking times) and features a distinctive, continuous clay tile roof.
