The vision behind Sophus Søbye Architects work is to develop authentic, aesthetic and sustainable architectural solutions between the urban, landscape and building. The goal is to create architecture with clear constructions and precise structures through a continued exploration and experimentation in the versatile possibilities of the materials. The potential of the architectural tradition and professional integrity is the platform of the studio’s work and the starting point of a stubborn quest for new solutions and possibilities in the realm of architecture. Rooting of the architecture in the site and the site’s conditions is ubiquitous and basic parameters in the development of the studio’s tasks. Sophus Søbye Architects work with - the site specific as an initiator, the analysis and social understanding as the engine, programming and strategy as the spine and finally the design and material handling as the unifying force. Sophus Søbye Architects seeks to create architecture with social transparency. Through varied spatialities and overlaps between culture and landscape and between the functions of the building, a transparency appears that embrace peoples’ needs for visual contact and social expression. Within the architecture of Sophus Søbye an opportunity for life and democratic expression between people arises.
