Lark

What Lark does

Lark Landskap AS is a Norwegian professional services firm specializing in landscape architecture, headquartered at Drammensveien 130 in Oslo with regional offices in Sandefjord and Nordfjordeid. Founded in 2014 and operating as part of the multidisciplinary Dark Design Group alongside sister companies Dark Arkitekter and Zinc Interiørarkitekter, the firm employs 24+ landscape architects and engineers delivering site analysis, concept development, design documentation, and construction supervision for outdoor environments.

The firm's core offering spans urban design and placemaking, park and open space design, residential landscape design, school and healthcare facility grounds, and sustainability consulting with BREEAM certification support. Domain specialization centers on climate-adapted design, biodiversity enhancement, blue-green infrastructure, stormwater management, and reuse of materials — supported by BIM workflows and cross-company professional groups within Dark Design Group for sustainability, technology, and innovation.

Lark generates revenue exclusively through professional services fees on a project basis, with pricing determined by scope and complexity rather than published rate cards. Go-to-market is sales-led: the firm wins work through architectural competitions, public procurement (municipalities and central-government bodies such as Statsbygg and Oslo Kommune), and direct enterprise relationships with major Norwegian property developers (OBOS, Skanska, Ferd Eiendom, Schage Eiendom). Customer segments are split between public-sector clients (municipalities, government agencies) and private developers, with a smaller tail of private individual residential commissions. Project portfolio includes flagship engagements such as Økern Portal (Nordic region's largest edible rooftop garden), Nytt Regjeringskvartal, and the Statens Arkitekturpris 2025-winning Wesselkvartalet. The firm is Miljøfyrtårn-certified and has executed international projects in Germany and Uruguay.
