Lund+Slaatto Arkitekter

What Lund+Slaatto Arkitekter does

Lund+Slaatto Arkitekter AS is a privately held Norwegian architectural practice headquartered at Langkaia 1, Oslo, with continuous operation tracing back to Arkitektkontoret MNAL Kjell Lund og Nils Slaatto (ANS), established in 1958 and reorganized under its current legal form in 1987. The firm employs approximately 35 architects and interior architects and delivers professional architectural design services across public buildings, office and commercial developments, residential housing, hotels, urban planning, and interior architecture. Its design methodology evolved from a pioneering Norwegian structuralist approach in the 1950s–1970s — emphasizing exposed concrete construction and modularity — to a contemporary focus on materiality, detailing, and colour in projects such as Munch Brygge, Valle Wood, and Oslo Met.

The firm generates revenue through project-based professional service commissions acquired primarily via architectural competitions (60+ documented wins from 1970 to 2024) and direct engagement with public and private sector clients including ROM Eiendom, OBOS/Skanska, Union Eiendomsutvikling, Statsbygg, OsloMet, and Verdens Gang. Fees are negotiated per project based on scope, complexity, and client, with multi-year contracts typical for major commissions. The firm has developed notable expertise in BREEAM-certified sustainable buildings, Passive House standards, and massivtre (cross-laminated timber) construction. Selected notable projects include Norges Bank (1987), VG-Huset (1994), Pilestredet Park (44,000 m2, 625 apartments), Schweigaardsgate 21+23 (BREEAM Excellent), Quadrum Business City in Vilnius (74,000 m2, first BREEAM-certified office building in Lithuania), and ongoing competition work including Glassverket (2024).

Lund+Slaatto Arkitekter is governed by six partners/co-owners led by Pål Biørnstad (Faglig leder / Styreleder), Espen Pedersen (Faglig leder), and Åse Helene Mørk (Daglig leder since 2017), with additional co-owners Ørjan Husby, Ane Nesje, and Inge Ormhaug. The firm maintains international project activity across Norway, Lithuania, Sweden, and France, and has accumulated a sustained awards record including Statens Byggeskikkpris (2007, 2014, 2018), Oslo Bys Arkitekturpris (2005, 2020), Betongtavlen, Houens Fonds Diplom, and Baltic Real Estate Investment Forum recognition for Quadrum Business City.
