Book with architecture, interior and object design

Building spaces of balance: Norm Architects' sense of humane simplicity helps create environments that feel as good as they look.

The essence of Norm Architects' style is balance: richness through restraint, simplicity through warmth, complexity through order. Whether in architecture, interior design, or furniture, their unique brand of gentle minimalism speaks to the mind as well as the body, creating and shaping spaces for everyone.

Soft Minimal is the first monograph curated by Norm Architects, showcasing a body of work that has established them as key figures in Nordic design. Through residential and commercial projects in Scandinavia, Italy, and Japan, Norm reflects on Nordic traditions, modernist principles, and the importance of natural materials. Exploring a creative process that engages the visual with all the senses, the book is insightful, inspiring, and deeply poetic.

Based on one of Copenhagen's oldest streets, Norm Architects is deeply embedded in its context and applies its principles to projects around the world. Their expertise lies in finding the golden mean between what can be added and what can be taken away.
