About






Natalie Blom and Poppy Bell are architects based in Gothenburg. Their work together has explored the synergies between ecology, architecture and seasonality with a specific focus on cultivating a practice of care and sensitivity to the natural world. This branches architectural practice and building while spilling over into their cultural practices around food, ritual-making and learning.
