Services

Architecture

The service covers every stage of a building project, including concept and preliminary design. The portfolio includes production facilities, commercial buildings, housing and public buildings, as new builds, extensions, conversions and refurbishment, and each commission is shaped by its own terms. The practice holds central approval for architectural design in consequence class 3.

Industrial planning

The core delivery in the industrial commissions is the whole facility as one project. It covers the mapping of the process, the plan built on the production’s flow and zones, the building structure and envelope, the logistics on the site with quay and vehicle standing, and the coordination of client, equipment suppliers, engineering disciplines and authorities into one coherent building. The commissions include smaller fish-reception and processing plants and facilities covering several hectares, both as new builds and as extensions carried out in full operation. At TINE Tretten, an extension of about 3,600 m² was built while production continued, and Nova Sea on Lovund is an 18,000 m² facility that started production in 2026.

Interior architecture

The practice’s interior architects work on floor plans, materials and fixed fittings in the projects. In the production facilities they shape the areas where people spend the working day, such as changing rooms, canteens, break rooms, office wings and the meeting with visitors, and in the housing and commercial commissions they follow the building until the rooms are furnished and in use.

Zoning and planning

The zoning plan sets the framework long before the building, covering site utilisation, access, building heights and the area a future expansion will need. The practice prepares zoning plans for both industrial developments and housing areas, and takes the plan through the process with the municipality and sector authorities to adoption. The detailed zoning plan for the Bunnpris block at Jakobsli in Trondheim was adopted by the city council in January 2025.

Building application

As responsible applicant with central approval in consequence class 3, the practice runs the building case and handles neighbour notification, dispensations and the dialogue with the building authorities until the occupancy permit is granted. The role applies to detached houses, extensions, changes of use, refurbishment of existing buildings and large production facilities.

Design management

Through the design phase the practice coordinates the architect, consulting engineers and the other disciplines, keeps the schedule and puts the basis for decisions before the client in the right order. Leading the design team ensures that the requirements from all parties meet in one agreed solution before construction starts.

Outdoor areas

The traffic pattern on the site, the standing for trailers, the quay and the handling of stormwater decide how a facility works day to day, and are therefore designed together with the building. The practice holds central approval for the design of roads, outdoor areas and landscape in consequence class 1, and brings in landscape architects in collaboration when the task calls for more extensive landscape work.

Visualisation

The models and illustrations in a commission are built on the same design model the building is later constructed from, and are used where they do their work, as a basis for the client’s decisions, as material in the building case and neighbour notification, and to show a facility before it exists.
