Every building is a drawing first.
Strulen is a contemporary architecture studio. We design houses, interiors and the planning that comes before them, and we stay with a project from the first idea to a completed building.

Ridge House
Before a line is drawn,
we move the blocks.
A project starts with a week of reading rather than sketching. The first model is usually about where the building should not go.
Start a project
hello@strulen.comSend the site or the address, what you want to build, and roughly when you would like to start. That is enough for a first conversation.
Ridge House is at design development and is not built. Everything marked Concept study is a study made in the studio. Photography licensed from Lummi. Films generated with Kling from those same photographs. Plans and sections drawn here.
