Recent Works
Architecture exists in the space between memory and invention, where vernacular knowledge shapes the language of parametric form. Guided by computational design, each project weaves cultural narrative, geometry, and craft into a unified expression. The result is a careful fusion of heritage and technology that creates spaces both timeless and forward-looking, grounded in identity yet alive with innovation.
About
Silje Tendenes is an architect working at the intersection of computational design and vernacular traditions, emphasizing material-driven and research-based approaches. Her work investigates how contemporary tools can reinterpret traditional knowledge to create architecture that is both deeply rooted in context and forward-thinking. Drawing inspiration from her upbringing immersed in Norwegian craft and a fascination with digital environments, she explores the convergence of culture, materiality, and technology to shape meaningful spatial experiences.
Silje Tendenes grew up along the fjord coastline of Stavanger, Norway, where the dramatic natural landscape inspired her early curiosity about how environments shape human experience. After moving to the United Kingdom, living in Somerset, Yorkshire, Wales, and Oxford enriched her appreciation for regional spatial design and the significance of cultural context.
