[ Mass & Void — Architecture & Urbanism ]

[ Position ]

Architecture is the considered making of mass and void — and the light that moves between them.

How we work

[ Three phases ]

01

Enquiry

We begin with the site, the brief, and the constraints — and the questions nobody has asked yet.

02

Concept

Models, sections, and material studies. We test the idea in physical form before a single line is fixed.

03

Delivery

Detailed design through to site — we stay close to the concrete, because that's where it's won or lost.

[ The studio ]

Small studio. Long attention span.

Mass & Void is a studio of fourteen, led by founder Elin Våge. We take on a handful of projects at a time so that each one gets the attention concrete deserves.
