MATTERS Information

MATTERS have a passion for finding the soul of a place. We create spaces for emotional well being, places that engage people. We advocate the involvement of imagination, passion, playfulness and humanity. We believe that every project must find it’s own identity. This way we can create a strong sense of belonging both on a contextual and human level. By integrating artful, creative and innovative approaches with professional logic, we succeed in bringing together program, needs and building into a coherent and beautiful project. We place great focus on the people involved and the core activities of a given program in the belief that architecture fundamentally provides a platform for human activity, that build meaningful relationships with place through architecture. Our projects are well researched, rigorous and sensitive to site and context and therefore our architecture has no prescribed language, but one that develops out of and resonates with the setting and program of each particular project. We aim for an original, timeless, sustainable and durable architecture, and we welcome the unknown factors that always result in innovative and positive solutions. MATTERS has received prizes in both international and national architectural competitions. MATTERS was founded by architects Marie-Louise Holst and Lotte Rønne, who both graduated in 2003 from Aarhus Scool of Architecture. MATTERS architects was founded in 2014.
