Est. 2026 — First Release Brooklyn · Copenhagen

Architecture has a cadence.

Cadence makes architectural materials on a deliberate release schedule. We begin with the things that frame a building's relationship to light and air — windows and doors — and grow, season by season, into a complete language of surfaces, hardware, and apertures.

N° 01 — Position

Slow, considered, and
measured to the millimetre.

Most building components are designed to be sold; ours are designed to be lived with. Cadence releases one series at a time — drawn in the studio, prototyped at full scale, and produced by makers we know by name.

  1. 01

    Pace

    Few materials, released deliberately. Each piece earns its place in the catalogue before the next is drawn.

  2. 02

    Proportion

    Sightlines measured in millimetres. Modules that meet floor, wall, and ceiling without compromise or trim.

  3. 03

    Permanence

    Specified once and serviced for the life of the building. A standard you can return to a decade from now.

N° 02 — The First Release

Windows & Doors.
Series 01.

Twelve modules in a single architectural language. Aluminium-clad timber by default, with bronze-anodised aluminium and solid white oak as alternates. Drawn for retrofit and new build alike.

N° 03 — A Single Standard

Engineered once.
Specified for a lifetime.

Every module in Series 01 is drawn against a shared structural and thermal envelope — so substituting a fixed light for a pivot door, or a casement for a tilt-turn, never breaks the language of a wall.

N° 04 — On the Horizon

What follows
the first opening.

Cadence is built around a single idea: a complete material language for modern architecture, released slowly enough to be done well. Below is the schedule, drawn from the studio's working calendar.

  1. Q2 2027 Series 02

    Surfaces

    Lime plaster, hand-troweled clay, and dimensional stone — finished for floor, wall, and worktop.

  2. Q4 2027 Series 03

    Hardware

    Solid bronze and brushed steel lever sets, pulls, hinges, and concealed closers — a single hardware language.

  3. 2028 Series 04

    Apertures

    Skylights, clerestories, and rooflights — extending the language of openings overhead.

  4. Ongoing

    And further

    Cabinetry components, joinery details, and trim. A growing library of architectural primitives.
