About us

AART is a Scandinavian, full-service architecture firm that provides consultancy services across scale and sector. We work on projects in the following segments: public and private housing, commercial, culture, health and education, and we consult clients on urban space and landscape design, planning, space-planning, sustainability, environment, transformation and renovation, design and, not least, impact-based architecture.

With 300 employees, comprising architects, landscape architects, construction engineers, anthropologists, economists and civil engineers, we are one of Scandinavia's leading independent architectural firms. From our offices in Denmark, Norway and Sweden, we develop projects that make a positive difference for developers, users and society.

Our company is founded on the willingness to translate visions into noticeable impact.

AART er en del af Verka Collective – et europæisk kollektiv af selvstændige arkitektvirksomheder, der deler viden, kompetencer og ressourcer på tværs af virksomheder og lande.

Vi er forskellige virksomheder med hver vores historie, kultur og faglige ståsted. Men vi deler en ambition om at styrke arkitekturen og dens rolle i udviklingen af vores samfund.

Vores fælles projekt er at holde arkitekturen i førersædet og styrke vores mulighed for at tage ansvar for helheden – fra de første idéer til den langsigtede værdi, arkitekturen skaber.

AART was established in Aarhus in 2000 by Torben Skovbjerg, Anders Strange and Anders Tyrrestrup. Since then, Mads Nygaard and Nanna Flintholm have joined the circle of group partners.

Over the years, we have opened offices in Copenhagen, Oslo and Stockholm, and in 2018 we acquired the Norwegian architectural firm SJ Arkitekter with approximately 50 employees for the purpose of strengthening and developing our position in the Norwegian market.

In 2022, in the largest transaction among architectural firms ever, we acquired the 75-year-old architectural firm Mangor & Nagel's three offices in Copenhagen, Roskilde and Frederikssund, respectively. The acquisition brought two independent architectural firms together and against the current in the industry. We did so with a common goal to support our clients with pure consultancy services and highly specialised skills in all branches of architecture.
