Our purpose is to improve the quality of life through design that creates identity. This could be at home, at work, at school, in the city, in nature, at the station – anywhere people gather in the built environment or use objects of design.

PLH Architects is a Danish architectural practice based in Copenhagen. We create architecture worldwide, designing office buildings, cultural buildings, residential buildings and creating workplace design and urban planning solutions, infrastructure, retail and healthcare architecture.

WE WON: Best in Copenhagen! 🏆 The votes are in and Høje-Taastrup City Hall wins this year's Byens Bedste - or Best in Town - award in the architecture category! Byens Bedste is voted by the public, and this makes us especially proud as it's a sign that the people of Høje-Taastrup and Copenhagen enjoy this building as much as we do. Byens Bedste is awarded by @berlingske every year in a number of categories. The city hall opened its doors to employees and citizens in February. Read more about the building on our website. Congratulations to everyone involved in the project, to our client @htkommune and to our partners @atelierlorentzenlangkilde, @cowigroup, @Nordstern and @arteliadanmark. 📸@emillundphotography #architecture #copenhagen #byensBedste #design #architecturephotography

How can a circular mindset materialize in interior design? As a part of our renovation of a new Maersk office building in Copenhagen’s Nordhavn district, we have focused on reusing existing materials, but in a new context and with an extra layer of design. While new furniture, colours and special joinery create an informal and inviting feel, original building features such as the stone floor, timber planks, carpets, and general wall layout have been preserved, thus minimizing climate impact and extending their purpose. The new range of destinations and settings activate previously uninspiring areas, giving employees stimulating multifunctional places to work, meet, and recharge along the scenic Svanemølle harbour. 📸 Kontraframe #architecture #interiordesign #renovation #copenhagen #multifunctionalspace

How can interior design help breathe new life into an iconic building? In close collaboration with Maersk, we have created a modern office space interplaying with the historical Harbour House, imagined and designed by the world-famous Utzon family. We have made use of the house’s amazing atrium and varying ceiling height to devise unique and inspiring areas in which to work and meet. The textures and colors both complement and contrast with the original building, making for a warm and welcoming atmosphere, characterized by a casual yet professional look. Harbour House is located in the upcoming Copenhagen Nordhavn district, an area we proudly contribute to with several projects, including makeovers of existing buildings and construction of brand new architectural landmarks such as the DFDS, Nykredit and AP Pension headquarters. 📸 Emil Lund Pedersen #architecture #workplacedesign #makeover #officespace #copenhagen

Wow! Can you imagine enjoying this breathtaking view from your hotel room? In close collaboration with the Klintholm Estate, we have transformed the old manor house, “Hunosøgaard”, into a modern, intimate boutique hotel right in the heart of the beautiful biosphere of Møn, 50 km south of Copenhagen. Our architectural concept refers to traditional Danish farmhouses, with natural materials such as larch facades and sedum roofs. Inside, a blend of rustic and comfortable decor offers guests an unpretentious, authentic experience that brings them in contact with the beautiful landscape and picturesque lake outside. 📸 Thomas LX Client: @villa.huno Team: MOE, Vestergaard Nielsen #villahuno #mønsklint #restaurant #hotel #glamping #klintholmgods #boutiquehotel #smallluxuryhotels #hotelphotography #hotellife #lakeview #panorama #nature #naturelove #naturephotography #naturelovers #autumn #fall #visitdenmark #architecture #architecturephotography #architecturelovers #architecturedesign #architect #architecturedaily #architecturereels #interiordesign #danisharchitecture #danishdesign #plharkitekter

Stairs do not always have to be dull ways of simply getting from A to B. Stairs can be architectural creations, offering inspiring views of a building while leading to new destinations and experiences.

Do you remember to look up every now and then? Great architecture should be inspiring and a delight for our eyes to behold – from floor to ceiling. Looking up can reveal a vault of new shapes, lights and contrasts.

How can we harvest the benefits of natural sunlight when designing modern workplaces? Vast glass sections played a key role in realizing our design for the DSV office in Warsaw. They help create the buildings outside signature look while at the same time benefitting the people inside it. The windows allow for great views and for workstations and common areas to be lit up with copious amounts of natural sunlight, minimizing energy consumption while increasing employee well-being. As glass constitutes a significant part of the facade, windows with minimal reflection have been chosen to create a transparent and welcoming exterior. 📸 Piotr Krajewski @dsv_global #glass #windows #sunlight #sun #naturallight #officebuilding #office #workplacedesign #workplace #architecture #architect #architecturephotography #photography #architecturelovers #archdaily #architect #archilovers #building #danishdesign #nordicdesign #scandinaviandesign #danisharchitecture #nordicarchitecture #scandinaviandesign #warsaw #poland
