POETIC

ARCHITECTURE THAT RESONATES

An architecture studio where quality, sustainability, and poetry converge.

POETIC is an award-winning architecture studio based in Kristiansund. We create site-specific and sustainable architecture that is both rational and emotionally accessible. Through precise methodology, poetic sensitivity, and deep respect for time and place, we develop architecture that resonates.

We are known for projects that demand sustainable and authentic design—locally rooted yet internationally relevant. POETIC redefines how architecture can be both rational and emotionally engaging.

Our Approach

Architecture emerges through the relationship between people, place, and space.
It is meant to be felt, lived, and experienced.

At POETIC, we work both methodically and poetically. Landscape, light, materiality, and rhythm form the foundation of every project. Sustainability is a consequence of thoughtful choices, rooted in the site’s genius loci.
