Unknown Architects

Amsterdam-based Unknown Architects crafts coastal residences and pavilions characterized by expressive, steeply folded roof geometries, deep sheltering overhangs, and clean tectonic contrasts between vertical timber cladding and masonry volumes. This portfolio provides a strong reference for resolving continuous roof-to-eave tile details, aligning exposed timber rafters with exterior boarding, and embedding singular geometric skylights to illuminate coastal retreats.
