Einar Jarmund & Co

What Einar Jarmund & Co does

Einar Jarmund & Co AS (EJCO) is an Oslo-based, NAL-registered architecture and design studio founded in 1996 as Jarmund/Vigsnæs AS Arkitekter MNAL and rebranded under its current name in April 2019. The firm operates as a multi-scale practice, delivering projects spanning urban planning, landscape, building interiors, and standalone buildings across residential, public, commercial, hospitality, cultural, and heritage-adaptive typologies. It is led by founder Einar Jarmund (Architect MNAL) with a team of 13, including MArch-qualified architects, MNAL-registered architects, one intern, and a landscape architect.

The studio's core offering is bespoke architectural services delivered through project-based commissions, with revenue generated via professional service fees on direct commissions and competition wins. Its go-to-market is principally direct-to-client, relying on a project portfolio website, architectural competitions (e.g., first-prize wins for Myrkdalen Hotel and Ballerud), and direct engagement with private developers (e.g., Solon Eiendom, Værste AS) and public agencies (e.g., Statsbygg, Norwegian Ministry of Defence). Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed, with multi-year contract cadence typical of architectural design services.

EJCO differentiates on a site-specific, non-stylistic design philosophy and a multi-scale capability set, with a portfolio of 100+ projects across Norway, Denmark, Sweden, the UK, the Netherlands, Morocco, the USA, and Australia. The practice is a member of Grønn Byggallianse (Green Building Alliance) and a co-signatory of the Architects Declare open letter on climate and biodiversity, alongside five other Groschmedaljen-winning Norwegian architecture practices. There is no evidence of external investment, fundraising, acquisitions, or AI/ML technology adoption.
