Who is Kathryn Larsen?
Kathryn Larsen is an architectural technologist (KEA, 2019)
and architect MAA (TU Delft, 2022). She often describes herself as a ‘multidisciplinary designer’, as her work often flows between art, design, science and construction. In addition to running two businesses, she works as an architect in the pharmaceutical industry for AFRY Engineers, and teaches at DIS Copenhagen.
Originally from New Jersey, she is currently based in Copenhagen and Nykøbing Falster. She is the founder of Studio Kathryn Larsen, which specializes in renovations and material-driven design, and she is the co-founder of ReefCircular, a company focused on innovative biodesign, especially with respect to marine biobased materials.
Kathryn speaks Danish, English, Japanese, and is proficient in Spanish.
Join the team
Architecture is an industry that exploits young labor, and we believe changing this starts with us. At Studio Kathryn Larsen, we offer a flexible apprenticeship model for third-year architecture students as Junior Architects with 0-1 years of work experience looking to start their career. We offer part-time work, fully paid for each hour, starting at a wage of 180DKK/hr, increased reflective of experience.
Junior Architects receive personal mentorship, training and feedback on their work, with increased responsibilities the longer they are with the company. As a result, we only have space for one or two junior architects on staff at a time.
Every six months, we evaluate our contracts to see if we can improve our offerings. We also encourage our staff to join their local Danish designer / architect unions to gain the full experience of the Danish work environment.
