Lund Hagem Arkitekter

What Lund Hagem Arkitekter does

Lund Hagem Arkitekter AS is a privately held Norwegian architectural practice headquartered in Oslo, founded in 1990 by Svein Lund and Einar Hagem. The firm employs more than 60 people and is managed by six partners, providing comprehensive architectural and landscape architecture services across residential (holiday homes, private villas, housing developments), commercial (offices, hotels, leisure complexes), public (libraries, research centers, university buildings), and urban masterplan projects. It has completed more than 100 built projects and earned 25+ years of awards including the Oslo Bys Arkitekturpris, Betongtavlen, IFLA Public Library of the Year, and an Mies van der Rohe Award nomination.

The practice's core capability is design grounded in the Norwegian tradition of simplicity, minimalism, and functional detailing, with an emphasis on dialogue between buildings and natural landscapes. Work is supported by central government approval for Project Class 3 Architecture and Project Class 2 Landscape Architecture, and the office is a certified Eco-Lighthouse (Miljøfyrtårn) company. Projects are delivered in collaboration with a recurring set of architectural, landscape, and engineering partners including Atelier Oslo, Gullik Gulliksen, Mork Ulnes Architects, and 70°N arkitektur.

The business operates as a professional services firm generating revenue through design fees, competition prizes, and project commissions on a quote-based, project-specific pricing model with no public fee schedule. Go-to-market relies on winning architectural competitions, direct commissions, and repeat client relationships across Norwegian government, institutional, and private-sector clients, with selected international commissions in Japan, the United States, and the Netherlands. Marketing is primarily portfolio-driven via the firm website, LinkedIn, and Instagram.
