BRIQ Group

BRIQ Group Urban life, architecture and spatial design Our mission is to create spaces that bring people together to live, work, and socialize.

BRIQ is a Copenhagen-based design agency working in the fields of architecture, spatial design, and visual communication. We design spaces of all kinds and sizes across both the public and private realms. We approach each task knowing that deeply understanding a specific place is vital to securing long-lasting and meaningful design.

Hands-on Experiments: Casting with H**p and Agricultural Residues

Rooted in a bioregional material practice, the architectural potential of h**p and plant aggregates combined with lime in cast constructions is explored through a series of hands-on experiments. The investigations focus on the material’s aesthetic, craft-based, and technical potentials, focusing on surface character, formability, and layered composition.

The research spans the full process from field to form: from harvesting plant materials to processing them into building material and shaping them through various casting techniques.

A series of castings (300 × 300 × 70 mm) explores different material mixtures featuring various types of plant shives, particle sizes, and lime content to unfold variations in expression and performance, and to experiment with stratified applications. Additional castings investigate formal details such as rounded corners in window reveals and profiles, aiming to create light effects and ornamentation while reducing vulnerability at exposed edges by accommodating the material’s porosity.

Implement Materials is part of the Agenda Earth initiative, an initiative run by the Danish Association of Architects (and continuously developed in collaboration with Dreyers Fond and the Danish Bar and Law Society - and supported by Dreyers Fond).

Cities are made up of layers - textures, memories, and traces of what came before. We believe that design should not erase these layers but add to them.

In collaboration with Danish-Vietnamese artist , we have designed the new restaurant for Copenhagen burger heroes on Købmagergade. Our approach was driven by tactility, respect for what was already there, and a belief in site-specific solutions.

Rather than starting over, we continued the story of the existing space - once home to a local falafel joint. The brown tiles - lining up the room up to 2.5 meters - nod to the aesthetics of classic Danish grill culture, while the centerpiece - a sculptural, hand-treated steel kitchen - thrusts itself into the room, shaped by the narrow footprint and the fast-paced energy of a city grill. The slim format of the restaurant is playfully extended by a wall of mirrors, decorated with art by Dahn Võ that references the classic fairytale of Cinderella.

Reuse played a central role in the design: the back room is furnished with second-hand pieces sourced by Tusindfryd, and the bathrooms feature reclaimed tiles - not just as a sustainable choice, but as an aesthetic one. The textures, patina, and irregularities of the reused objects adds a warm contrast to the clean lines and cool surfaces of the surrounding industrial aesthetic makeup.

The result is a bespoke restaurant that, while carrying Gasoline Grill’s crisp, minimalist identity, also seeks to stand on its own legacy.

We’re proud to share that The Red City has been longlisted for  2025!

Renoverprisen celebrates Denmark’s best transformation projects - those that show how existing buildings can be reimagined with care, creativity, and responsibility.

Our project transforms three industrial buildings in Nordhavn - carrying forward their environmental investment and preserving their cultural heritage. Biogenic and historical materials are re-introduced to a present setting by utilising h**pcrete and clay plaster. Currently this is the largest project in Denmark pioneering the use of h**p and clay.

The Red City is our first completed building entirely in our own name. It is highly indicative of our approach to architecture, and we are beyond proud to have this project as a leading example of our practice going forward.

Thank you to Nrep and PFA for believing in our vision.

Grow your building!

Biogenic materials capture and store CO2. Integrating locally grown materials into contemporary construction practices has the potential to significantly reduce the carbon footprint of buildings, while also promoting a new aesthetic turn and building culture.

We’re excited to showcase our investigations into this subject as part of Implement Materials — an exhibition showcasing various experiments with sustainable and locally grown building materials. Implement Materials is part of the Agenda Earth initiative, an initiative run by the Danish Association of Architects (and continuously developed in collaboration with Dreyers Fond and the Danish Bar and Law Society – and supported by Dreyers Fond). Join us for the opening on April 10th from 16:00–18:30 at Frederiksberg Chapel (Frederiksberg Hospital Vej 8, 23, 2000), where our work will be exhibited together with three other innovative projects.

Together with Havnens Hænder ( ) and NEXT Nørrebro ( ), the team is exploring the architectural potential of h**p and plant shives mixed with lime (often refered to as h**pcrete) in cast constructions. This includes in-situ cast wall- and roof solutions that utilise the material’s surface qualities, plasticity, and layered composition. Additionally, a wider palette of plant-based materials is being investigated - such as sunflowers, rapeseeds, and Jerusalem artichoke stems - which tap into agricultural by-products and the unique technical and aesthetic properties of each plant.

We look forward to sharing our process, contributing to a regenerative shift in building materials.

Last week, we celebrated the 10-year anniversary of the Århusgade district in Nordhavn opening to the public. In those ten years, the area has gone from an old harbourfront to a lively urban district. ⁠
⁠
Creating a vibrant neighbourhood is always a collective effort, a result of the combined input of many. From architects, developers and engineers, to operators, shop owners, local residents, and strategists – countless people have played a role in shaping this vibrant community, and we are so proud to have been part of creating the district that it is today and will continue to develop into. ⁠
⁠
Our contribution has been to develop and implement the urban life strategy and design several buildings and a plaza in Den Røde By.⁠

We could mention many but would like to highlight the contributions from , , , , &Havn, , , .⁠
