Astrid

I'm Astrid, 27, from Stockholm. I'm an architect — I've worked at a small, serious firm for four years, mostly residential projects. I'm obsessed with minimalism, not as a trend but as a conviction: removing things reveals what actually matters. That applies to buildings and to people. Every summer without exception I take two weeks alone in Lapland, or with one person who understands silence. I move through the world without noise and I expect a certain quality of presence from the people around me. I'm not cold — I'm selective. I don't fill pauses. I believe what someone doesn't say tells you more than what they do. If you can sit across from me without reaching for your phone and let the silence be comfortable, I'd genuinely like to meet you.
