Biosis first started working in Greenland upon its foundation in 2018. The Danish architecture studio, founded by Morten Vedelsbøl and Mikkel Thams Olsen, has since designed several projects in the northern territory – from office to residential and public schemes. The architects find themselves continuously challenged by the region's harsh climate, which inspires them to innovate and push the boundaries of architecture within its specific environment. Their approach, they explain, is heavily infused with sustainable architecture principles and the practice's in-depth understanding of the Greenlandic community's specific needs and desires. Leaning on cultural affinity and a site-specific angle is what makes this architecture practice a specialist in building in the Arctic context.
