Tofan Arkitektur
Create a home with timeless elegance
Tofan Arkitektur is a Norwegian studio with a focus on sculptural form, calmness, and clean design. We helped them refine their visual identity, keeping what mattered while sharpening the rest.
THE WHY
Tofan came to us with a logo that still meant something to them, but it was time for it to grow. The studio is built on values like simplicity with a sharp edge, and a calm, forward-thinking approach to architecture. The goal wasn’t to throw everything out and start fresh, but to refine and evolve the identity into something more intentional and more aligned with where the studio is heading.
THE HOW
We started with the original “T,” treating it as a foundation. Using a square grid, we tested different forms until we landed on something that held the same character as the old logo, but felt more confident and precise. From there, we built out the rest of the wordmark, paying close attention to balance, detail, and subtle personality.
The final logo is clean, minimal, and clearly architectural. Each shape is considered, and everything works together to reflect how the studio thinks and works: grounded, calm, and designed with care.
THE CHALLENGE
The biggest challenge was working with something that already had emotional weight. The old logo wasn’t broken, it just needed direction. Our job was to fine-tune it, give it more structure, and make sure the new version still felt familiar, but better. The result is a visual identity that speaks the same language as the spaces Tofan creates — thoughtful, quiet, and built to last.
