Our architecture

We approach our architecture as an interactive process, where designs are developed through extensive studies of different scenarios that slowly condense into one strong idea. In each project, we strive to create visionary, site-specific and sensory architecture that makes a positive contribution to people's lives.

Our projects do not subscribe to a specific style, but rather to an inclusive and innovative way of thinking. We believe that generosity appears in a careful dialogue with both specific users and the complex environment in which we work.

Our architecture is progressive, always focused on bringing the client's ambitions to life, while at the same time providing lifelong added value to the users and the local context.

The dialogue is central. This applies both to our internal design process and to our interaction with clients and external consultants.

Knowledge is an essential design parameter, from determining an overall design strategy to the final choice of materials. We consider care for the environment, awareness of resources, healthy project finances, social responsibility and good craftsmanship to be essential elements of our work.

Above all, nōmar architects takes its clients with it from start to finish in order to create a powerful story that provides a valuable response to the predefined needs and wishes.
