Søren Pihlmann is an architect and the founder of the Copenhagen-based office pihlmann architects which he founded in 2021. The architectural philosophy underpinning his work emphasizes the potential of existing materials and resources, challenging how we continue to build by focusing on what we already have. This approach is exemplified by his recent transformation project Thoravej 29, which was awarded Building of the Year 2024 in Denmark and reused 95% of the existing materials.
