Helping to realise your ambitions

Our unwavering commitment to design is married with a deep appreciation of a building’s function, buildability and adaptability. Whether it’s engineering a state of the art science and research laboratory, sensitively modernising A grade commercial premises, or restoring priceless heritage assets, we have a great imagination for the future, and a deep rooted sense of responsibility for the past.

Our Nordic heritage and founding principles underpin how we operate; we strive to create long standing sustainable solutions for our clients and wider society. Our deeply ethical standpoint ensures we consider the impact on the local environment, in a societal, cultural and sustainable context. Furthermore, our Liveable Cities Lab in Copenhagen is spearheading research into improving liveability, providing further insight for our progressive solutions.

We pride ourselves in understanding a brief, so that what gets designed and built achieves a client’s aims. We believe the best outcomes are achieved when we challenge and are challenged, the winner is always the project, and is why we champion open and collaborative dialogue.
