Henning Larsen Architects

What Henning Larsen Architects does

Henning Larsen Architects is a Copenhagen-headquartered architecture and design practice operating as a subsidiary of Ramboll Group. The firm delivers work across four integrated disciplines — architecture, landscape, urbanism, and interiors — with studios across the Nordic region, the Faroe Islands, the United States, Singapore, and a newly opened Sydney office (February 2025). Its portfolio is concentrated in civic, cultural, education, sports, and corporate commissions of national and international scale, including Harpa in Reykjavik, World of Volvo in Gothenburg, the National Orchid Garden and Jurong Lake Gardens in Singapore, the Singapore Institute of Technology, Jordal Sports Park in Oslo, and the Smyril Line headquarters in the Faroe Islands.

The practice runs on project-based, fee-for-service commercial terms typical of large architecture firms, with revenue derived from direct commissions and competitive tenders from public-sector and corporate clients. As a Ramboll subsidiary, it benefits from cross-disciplinary integration with a global engineering and consultancy platform while retaining an independent design brand. Recent technology investments extend beyond services into productized assets: PlanCO2, an open-source carbon planning tool for urban planners launched in June 2025, and the OpenDetail sustainability platform, which went live in February 2026 to standardize sustainability data across design and specification workflows.

The customer base spans government agencies, cultural institutions, universities, and corporate enterprises across at least ten countries, with no single dominant client visible. The combination of design-led delivery, Ramboll-embedded distribution, and an emerging sustainability software stack positions the firm as a design practice with selective, adjacency-driven moves into climate and data tooling rather than a technology-first company.
