Commercial Interior Design Features Kristina Brateng, Founder of B8 Architecture

We are proud to share that Kristina Brateng, Founder and CEO of B8 Architecture, has been featured in Commercial Interior Design as part of its renowned “In the Studio” series — a format that offers an intimate look into the minds shaping today’s design landscape.

In the article, Kristina reflects on her journey as a designer and studio founder, and how her international background continues to shape B8 Architecture’s identity. She speaks openly about the importance of cultural context, storytelling, and emotional connection in architecture, highlighting how each project is approached as a sensory experience rather than a purely visual outcome.

The feature also explores the studio’s design ethos — balancing conceptual clarity with materiality, light, and spatial flow — while remaining deeply connected to place and people. Kristina shares insights into how B8 Architecture fosters a collaborative studio culture, where creativity is driven by curiosity, research, and a strong respect for craftsmanship.

This recognition by Commercial Interior Design is a meaningful milestone for our practice and a testament to the values that guide our work every day.
