At Ark Journal we explore the spaces around us, the objects we put in them and the people who make them. Bridging architecture, design and art, we show them as interplay rather than in silos, and with a sense of enduring Scandinavian values and aesthetics. We celebrate good ideas, honest and inventive design and materials and encourage critical debate. Each issue we visit extraordinary homes around the world that are more than the sum of their parts and that express the personal narratives of the people who live in them, their philosophies and influences. By placing architecture at the core of Ark Journal, we want to consider it in the broader context of our lives, reflecting its more humanistic side and celebrating tactility and individual dimensions.
Copenhagen-based, Ark Journal is a biannual magazine founded by Editor-in-Chief Mette Barfod and made by an experienced team of designers, stylists, photographers and editors. The 240-page magazine is sold in 25 countries around the world.
In this issue:
ARK JOURNAL VOLUME XVI explores extraordinary homes and creative spaces where architecture is deeply connected to place. From historic buildings thoughtfully restored to contemporary homes shaped by landscape, this issue celebrates environments that tell stories of craftsmanship, memory and the people who inhabit them.
Journey through remarkable homes, inspiring studio visits and in-depth conversations with architects, designers and creative minds whose work is guided by curiosity, sensitivity and a profound respect for their surroundings. Discover spaces where architecture, interiors, art and nature exist in quiet dialogue, revealing new ways of living, creating and belonging.
