Lorenzen Architects has completed many buildings in Germany. Due to his Danish roots Carsten Lorenzen has been inspired by Nordic housing and thinking. The use of brick often gives the buildings a striking, haptic quality. A design of intimate interiors within densely built settlements as well as subtle transitions between public and private space are further definitive aspects of Lorenzen's work, ranging from subsidized housing to private commissions, from urban design to the execution of details.This first monograph presents twenty-five projects that have been planned or constructed between 1996 and 2014, in recent years with Reinhard Mayer.
