Everything we know about the
Architecture of Home, in 10 notes

Clutter is just architecture that gave up. We realized we didn’t need more cabinets; we needed a better plan for how we actually live.
Ask og EngNote nr. 1
Daylight is free, yet it’s the most expensive thing we own. You can buy a lamp for €5,000, but nothing beats how the sun hits a bamboo wall at 7 AM. We design for the sun, not the other way around.
Ask og EngNote nr. 2
Bamboo is more loyal than oak. After working with this material for a decade, we know it survives kids, moving trucks, and bad days. It’s the "Structural Grit" we all need in our lives.
Ask og EngNote nr. 3
If it can't handle a half-full coffee cup, it isn't architecture. We don’t build museums. We build places where you can spill, live, and breathe.
Ask og EngNote nr. 4
"Honest Architecture" is about knowing when to shut up. Sometimes the bravest design choice is to put nothing there at all. Silence is a luxury.
Ask og EngNote nr. 5
Our inbox became our mentor. You asked about our paint codes so often that we realized it wasn’t the color you wanted—it was the feeling. Here it is.
Ask og EngNote nr. 6
We aren’t "Furniture Designers." We are just two people who tried to fix their own daily life ten years ago and never stopped.
Ask og EngNote nr. 7
The details are there to be touched. If you don’t feel like running your hand over the kitchen island, we’ve failed.
Ask og EngNote nr. 8
Mallorca taught us to slow down. Drammen taught us to work hard. Ask og Eng is the result of both: Craftsmanship that works, at a pace that lets you live.
Ask og EngNote nr. 9
There is no "Right Way." Your home shouldn't look like ours. It should feel like you. We are just here to help you find your "Sourcing Key."
Ask og EngNote nr. 10

The Architecture of Home: Case Files

_Q5A9693

The Ask og Eng House

Inspired by the search for tranquility. This project features a minimal kitchen composition where the richness of bamboo meets the clean lines of modern urban living. A perfect example of how simple forms and organic textures can make a space feel deeply personal.

The Ibiza Finca

Where Mediterranean history meets Nordic silence. In every corner of this century-old retreat, our customized bamboo furniture acts as a bridge between the building’s rough materiality and a modern need for rest. A home away from home, built with materials that breathe and designs that remain

Ask og Eng_Eheier_Ekero_1

Villa in Stockholm

For this contemporary residence in Ekerö, we moved beyond the kitchen to define every surface—from the ceiling panels and doors to the bespoke furniture. By utilizing bamboo throughout the entire architecture, we created a seamless flow of tactility and light. A harmonious space built on shared values of sustainability and material honesty.

OUR TEN YEAR JOURNEY

In early 2016, we embarked on a transformative journey. It began with a personal necessity: the desire to create a sustainable environment for our own family, starting with a single bamboo kitchen built in our apartment.

Kine’s background in sustainability met Kristoffer’s architectural perspective. Though new to construction, we fell in love with the process of hand-finishing bamboo—a material as resilient as it is honest.

“We built our first kitchen to solve our own life. Ten years later, we are still solving yours, one joint at a time”.
