Architecture begins with the attention to people and to place

“One of the things I most love about my work are the moments of anticipation, sitting in a car, traveling somewhere new, when I am waiting to encounter a new place for the first time. Then I love the time spent moving through that new place, on high alert and with all my senses open, evaluating the trees, the soil, the stone, the movement of the sun and the touch of the wind. It doesn’t take long for me to begin to imagine a new building there, or the transformation of an existing volume.”

- David Thulstrup, A Sense of Place monograph written by Sophie Lovell with Phaidon.

David Thulstrup approaches architecture with the belief that every place already holds the foundations for what it can become.

His work begins by understanding what gives a place its identity: its landscape, materials, traditions and the people who will shape life within it.

Careful observation and informed intuition guide each project through a dialogue with its surroundings, allowing buildings, interiors and landscape to evolve as one connected whole.

Designing a private home, a restaurant or a hotel calls for the same attentiveness: places that feel inseparable from where they are and natural to those who experience them.

The result is architecture with its own identity, deeply connected to its surroundings and designed to support the lives, experiences and memories that unfold within it
