We leverage our Scandinavian approach, to find the right balance through an open and inclusive design process, and share the ambition to create beautiful, sustainable and user-friendly architecture.
Context, scale, light and materials should go hand in hand. Our buildings tread respectfully in physical, environmental and socio-cultural contexts embracing their location in a coherent manner.
Our architecture is designed in close collaboration with users and our clients, in order to ensure that a given project is relevant and future-proof. We see this as a valuable process and the best way to support societies through our architectural design.
We design and build for the future
aSelected
Bringing new life to existing buildings creates opportunities, both in a social and environmental context. Arkitema has a long tradition of reinventing the existing; we see transformation among the best and most sustain able ways to merge the past and the future.
The way people interact with architecture has always been at the core of our design. We take a holistic approach to urban development and see transportation hubs and outdoor environments as an integral part of the city. Through our architecture, we connect people and places.

— Dorthe Keis, Partner and Business Area Manager
Architecture is not only a symbol of its own time; it should also enable a sustainable way of life in the future.
The sustainability challenges that we are facing require a new set of aesthetics and a new approach to our built environment.
7
Future perspective evokes long-term solutions. Thus, part of our design process is to always challenge the existing ways of designing our architecture in order to make sure that our buildings can stand the test of the future. Architecture should reach beyond its own time.
Designing for the future
Business as usual is no longer an option and we have a responsibility to position our focus on environmental and social sustainability when we design. Our ambitious goal is to go beyond minimising harmful impact, towards a regenerative approach. We highlight the potential of refurbishment, design for disassembly, and flexible, multipurpose buildings and spaces. We adopt the principles of circular economy and aim for re-used, recycled and biobased materials, when possible.

On the last building plot in the prestigious Nordhavn in Copenhagen, we designed the eye-catching cinema, BIG BIO, which is Denmark's first DGNB certified cinema. Due to the architectural design with no load-bearing or reinforcing walls, it is easy to change the use of all storeys. With a single and convincing touch, we created a building where perforated facade cladding with pleated folds bring memories of the classic stage curtain as we know it from the very first cinemas. The wavy outline and perforation of the building ensure a visual experi ence where light and shadows create various patterns during the day.

Woods Augusthus is a multifunctional and sustainable office building that shapes the framework of the office of the future. It offers open functions that ensure diverse uses with a focus on flexibility and multifunctionality. Each floor can be fitted with everything from independent one-person offices to large leases, and has a small hub where you can grab a coffee, print something out or hold smaller informal meetings. The construction project was built with a focus on recycled and waste materials; dis carded bricks and wood were used to reduce the build ing’s resource consumption and environmental impact.

A new school that believes in activity-based learning and in optimising learning through playing and that distributes the 500 pupils in kindergarten to sixth grade in year-based departments with a permanent team of teachers and social educators. The architecture was designed as a series of simple and open geometries – a grid of columns, where each part is designed to have different elements together with users in a co-creation process. The landscape around the school serves as a large, unbroken, supporting learning landscape.

Climate change is increasing the challenges of rising sea levels and groundwater, storm surges, changes in rainfall, and higher temperatures, also in Dragør Municipality, which has a long coastline. The municipality, as well as its citizens, wants to be at the forefront of an unavoidable development. For this complicated task, we have opted for a so-called nature-based coastal defence with absor bent borders. In contrast to a hard defence with partially reflective borders, this is an approach which absorbs the water and recognizes it as an asset.

Boat houses, warehouses and canal houses will give Oceanön its own identity based on the area's historical use. The buildings consist of terraced houses and multifamily houses. A square brings shops, businesses and nightlife together. The island itself and the buildings on it should be climate neutral during its life cycle. Residents are encouraged to behave sustainably and the island will be constructed of filling masses from other projects. Building materials can also be reused. This requires inno vative stormwater management, measures to stimulate marine life, close contact with marine ecology and places for educational activities.

According to the plan, in 2023, Bosch will open its new Danish headquarters in Ballerup. The building aims to define the future standard for sustainable Bosch facilities across the world, focus being on making an actual difference. The primary building structures, such as facades and floors, will be made of CLT panels and the building will feature slate cladding. These materials were chosen based on extensive life-cycle analyses. By using timber, we create a project that is sustainable, functional and beautiful. The open groundfloor façades and the surrounding park and its paths will be public and form an active part of the local environment.

40 Tvedestrand Primary School
The new school is built up with four "houses", all of which have a direct connection to the central core and the common functions in the facility. The four volumes have a tight and simple design, and the division in the facade gives the building a playful feel and a distinctive identity. The ground floor gets a green color and is sep arated from the floors above by a horizontal band that also includes the roof superstructure. This breaks down the scale of the building further. The school is built on a beautiful natural plot where the forest extends all the way into the school's play area.

Gødstrup Regional Hospital is one of Denmark's largest development projects in the healthcare sector, and sets the standard for Danish hospital construction in the future. In close collaboration, we have sketched out the medical wing of the hospital and most of the treatment and ward section. The architectural design is based around the principles of “healing architecture”, in which the setting supports the patient’s recovery process and promotes well-being for everyone in the hospital. The project has a logical structure consisting of a central axis and trans verse wings, with all of the outpatient functions located on the central base of the hospital on the ground floor.

The design is based on the school's location. The clear geometric volumes that are found in Wennergren Center, have been a starting point for the design. The volumes of the school and the sports hall consist of triangular prisms with raised corners that step down towards the Nationalstadsparken and Brunnsviken. Towards the park, the buildings open up with their longest facade sides to maximize the scenic view. A third volume is immersed in the ground and houses the sports hall, one corner of which is raised above the ground for an entrance and creates an exciting raised schoolyard area that provides better sun opportunities for a north-facing schoolyard.

How do you rethink an area to experience increased diversity in its user group? In Alby, south of Stockholm, people moved out of the area which was characterised by uniform and rigid residential buildings. Today, the negative outflow of residents has been turned around and the area is safer for residents. The project stands out because of the deliberate use of traditional colours where everything from facades, roofs, roof gutters, rail ings and door handles are in the same colour. This breaks down scale and infuses homes with identity. The residential units are offset by 90 degrees from each other which provides interesting spaces between the buildings.

Infrastructure must be seen as an integral part of the city as well. Only then, we can design more holistic transportation hubs. Hubs that make everyday life easier for people who commute every day between home and work, institutions, grocery shopping, and leisure activities. Our approach to infrastructure is to make public mobility even more attractive. places
When developing tomorrow’s urban structures, our work is equal parts care and innovation.

In the new district in Kungens kurva in Huddinge south of Stockholm, 3.500 homes are planned. The new dense district on the border between the shopping center and the nature reserve is unique on Södertörn. A great sym bolic value is linked to the park's function as the living room for all residents and visitors in an otherwise harsh environment with few public green rooms.

A transportmodernhub NOR Eiendom Fylkeskommune Arkitekter Trondheim, Norway 18.600 m2
Trondheim Central Station is the largest railway station in Central Norway and one of the most important public transit hubs in the region. Here, pedestrians, cyclists, local and regional buses, trains, boats and cars meet, which makes the station highly important. The area, which used to separate the city’s historical centre from the harbour and the fjord, is now being transformed into a modern transport hub. Timber will be used for the load-bearing structure and the interior, which will result in a welcoming project with a small carbon footprint. Solar panels will be established to meet the ambitious goal of achieving a BREEAM Excellent certificate.

The East Link Project is the name of the 150 km long high-speed line which connects the country's three largest cities: Stockholm, Gothenburg and Malmö. The East Link Project is divided into four parts, and the part named OLP3 is being developed by COWI, Systra and Arkitema. Our contribution is to define the access areas to the new high-speed line and to ensure that two new stations in Skavsta and Nyköping have travel centre functions, performance capability and the status of transport hubs. We will also develop the architectural solutions and design specifications for all building parts on the OPL3 section. This includes over 67 bridges. railway of 1 85 bridges, 65 km

A landmark
A new pedestrian and bicycle bridge that connects the city centre with a new transformation area. The bridge will stand as a clear architectural landmark and form part of a scenic wetland area. A hybrid construction of concrete, steel and wood makes the bridge light and slim. The superstructure consists of main beams and crossbeams of steel and a bridge deck of glued laminat ed timber elements. The deck is made of asphalt. The columns and deck of solid wood reflects the local history with the wood industry and log driving the Nitelva River. The substructure has abutments and pillars of concrete that are pile-founded to rock.

As part of a major expansion of the Øresund Line to en sure sufficient capacity for future passenger and freight transport when the upcoming Fehmarn Belt Fixed Link is opened, the existing station at Copenhagen Airport will be expanded with a completely new station. In the future, the new station will provide easy access for people who travel by either train, plane or metro both from Denmark and to/from Sweden. The design of the new platforms is based on DSB’s guidelines, while the new footbridge is inspired by the design of the existing metro bridge with its characteristic frame construction and concrete bridge piers.

A building should not consider itself more important than the entity. Our buildings tread respectfully in physical, environmental and socio-cultural contexts in a coherent manner. Architecture is the discipline that can release the aesthetic potential of any given context. Understanding of the surroundings is an integrated part of our design process and has an impact on the final result. This can manifest itself in e.g. choice of material, color, shape or scale of our design.

A project close to the beach means a lot of effort, and moreover the location is right next to Kronborg Castle. It calls for a steady hand when the buildings are in a setting with Danish and international cultural heritage. Kronborg Strand is a housing project where tower blocks turn and twist along the beach. This ensures attractive views from the city and down towards the beach. The view is framed and enhanced by the Scandinavian-inspired timber houses with sloping roofs clad with black roofing felt.

The area includes a mixture of semi-detached houses, terraced houses and apartment buildings. The houses are terraced to follow the sloping topography and not obscure the view of the existing buildings. The ambition is for all homes to have the water view, and there is of course room for mooring a boat. A fantastic environment by the water inspires archipelago life. In addition, the public has access to the area.

The hospital's primary functions will be somatics and psychiatry, located in separate buildings. The building is divided into an east and west wing with a binding inter mediate building in glass that serves as a communication and waiting area. An extensive use of wood is planned for the facades and interiors. Wayfinding palette is inpired by colours traditionally used in the local area. The new hospital will be located on a plot with beautiful nature, where we have focused on exploiting the plot's potential to get a look out to nature no matter where you are in the hospital.

The building is shaped like an E with four 'fingers', which reach out towards the marina to the west. The floor height is stepped down towards the water, and with the level reduction, many of the apartments have spacious roof terraces, which at the same time create a fine scale adjustment between the marina's intimate environment and the SHIP buildings. Tall, elegant glass slides invite the water and nature into the living rooms. Recreational land scape spaces have been established around the buildings, of which more than 2,000 m² are public.
