Culture
We consult clients on the development of museums, libraries, concert halls, outdoor recreation centres and sports facilities.
Cultural construction is part of our DNA — from our first winning project back in 2003, the Mies van der Rohe nominated Sletten i Ry, to our latest cultural flagship, the Viking Age Museum in Oslo. Over the years, we have designed and transformed a wide range of cultural buildings throughout Scandinavia. Common to them all is a deep immersion in the visions of our clients, so that together we can bring architecture into the world that not only serves as cultural catalyst to develop cities, but also entire communities.
Culture is about connecting people. It is about strengthening social and cultural cohesion, which is why the community takes precedence over everything else when we design and transform cultural buildings. For us, it is crucial to promote a diverse cultural life, in which not only diverse functions are reconnected, but also people from different generations and social backgrounds. A social purpose that we combine with a deep understanding of the area’s history and potential, so that the architecture both contrasts and blends with its surroundings.
