Søren Pihlmann, born in 1987, founded his Copenhagen-based architectural studio Pihlmann Architects in 2021, where by exploring new materials and re-evaluating existing ones, he strives to rethink conventional architectural perspectives.
Examining the potential of both overproduced and underrated materials, he combines them based on their inherent properties, creating compositions that evoke both familiarity and discovery.
In recent years, he has made a significant mark on the Danish architectural scene through a series of transformative projects that have influenced contemporary discourse. In 2023, his project House14a was awarded Denmark’s most prestigious architectural prize, the Årets Arne, named after celebrated modernist Arne Jacobsen. That same year, he was shortlisted for three Architectural Review Awards, having previously received the Henning Larsen Foundation Honorary Award in 2022.
