The company was founded in Aarhus, Denmark in 1986 and is led today by Kristian Lars Ahlmark, Chris Hardie, Mads Kaltoft, Elif Tinaztepe, Kasper Frandsen, and Sanne Wall-Gremstrup. Working out of studios located in Copenhagen, Aarhus, and Shanghai, the firm provides skilled architectural services all over the world, with a distinguished track record as designers of international, high-profile architecture. Cultural and educational buildings, offices, commercial, retail, and residential buildings, often in mixed-use developments and complex urban contexts, are cornerstones of the firm's output. The practice has extensive global experience in the design of libraries and other public and cultural landmark buildings, and its innovative, sustainable, and democratic approach to architecture has attracted global attention, winning more than 100 national and international awards.
