Introduction: KRAO is a young architecture practice influenced deeply by Swedish and Japanese functionalism. Our practice is less about design aesthetic and more about a way of life. Born out of a rooted belief in humanism, modesty and purposefulness, we seek to walk the line between classic and modern. We identify with architectural solutions that combine simplicity with beauty, humanism, and an innate connection to nature. Our favorite buildings are those that come across as understated, but are also powerful and filled with soul. Because we are a young practice, we do not have a pre-conceived notion of what a house needs to be or should be. Instead, we approach each job as a unique task, which ultimately leads to personalized solutions for our clients that are uniquely tailored to their individual needs.
A large part of the practice is about understanding and focusing on the needs of our clients. We enjoy most creating spaces that our clients are inspired by and love to live in.
