What Mellomrom Arkitekturpsykologi does

Mellomrom Arkitekturpsykologi AS is a Norwegian professional services firm specializing in workplace consulting and interior architecture grounded in the discipline of architecture psychology (arkitekturpsykologi) — the interdisciplinary combination of architectural design with psychological principles to create workspaces that support wellbeing, productivity, and collaboration. Founded in 2000 and headquartered in Oslo at Drammensveien 130 with a secondary office in Bergen, the firm serves Norwegian municipalities, financial institutions, energy companies, healthcare organizations, telecommunications firms, media companies, and educational institutions across the country. Operations span strategic workplace concept development through to interior architecture execution and post-occupancy evaluation.

The firm's core proprietary asset is the SMAP framework (Smarte, Attraktive og Produktive arbeidsplasser / Smart, Attractive and Productive Workplaces) — a 120-criteria evaluation and planning standard developed between 2015 and 2018 through a research partnership with Høgskulen på Vestlandet and financed by 60M NOK from the Research Council of Norway (of which 28M NOK was confirmed grant to the firm). SMAP produced two doctoral degrees and underpins the firm's methodological approach. Service lines include Arbeidsplassrådgivning (workplace consulting), Interiørarkitektur (interior architecture), Arbeidsplasskonsept (workplace concept development), Prosjektledelse (project management), Bærekraftige kontorløsninger (sustainable office solutions), and Foredrag (lectures). The team comprises workplace advisors and interior architects under Managing Director Marlene Dahle, with founder Oddvar Skjæveland serving as architecture psychologist and partner while concurrently holding a senior researcher role at Høgskulen på Vestlandet.

The business operates a sales-led, project-based B2B model. Consulting project pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. Additional revenue comes from paid network seminars (nettverksseminar) priced at 4,500–5,500 NOK ex. VAT per participant in 2025, lectures, and thought-leadership content. GTM relies on a deep knowledge library on the firm website, LinkedIn presence, a 'Mellom oss' newsletter, paid seminars, and earned media coverage in Norwegian outlets (NRK, Aftenposten, Forskning.no). Customers reach the firm through direct outreach or the website contact form, with engagements delivered on-site across Norway. The client base spans enterprise and government buyers with no disclosed recurring-revenue structure.

Direct peers

• Oktra: Oktra is a UK workplace design and build specialist offering workplace consultancy, interior design and fit-out. Comparable to Mellomrom through an integrated workplace consulting-to-design service model for mid-market and enterprise clients, albeit serving the UK market.
• Leesman: Leesman is a workplace experience measurement and benchmarking firm with 70,000+ respondents. Comparable to Mellomrom because both apply empirical workplace evaluation methodology (surveys, post-occupancy data) to advise organizations on office design and activity-based working, and Leesman is already referenced by Mellomrom as a research partner.
• Møller & Grønhede Arkitekter: Møller & Grønhede is a Norwegian architecture and interior design firm with a workplace portfolio spanning offices, hotels, and public-sector buildings. Comparable to Mellomrom as a Norwegian-based peer combining interior architecture and workplace consulting for similar enterprise and municipal clients.

Broad incumbents

• JLL Work Dynamics: JLL's Work Dynamics practice delivers global workplace strategy, change management, and occupancy analytics to corporate occupiers. Comparable to Mellomrom in advising enterprises on workplace transformation programs, but JLL is a much larger global real estate services firm with broader services.

Comparable to Mellomrom through its workplace research output and design advisory services, though it spans products, dealerships, and global delivery.

Comparable to Mellomrom as a major player in workspace design and applied workplace research, but operating at far larger scale and across an integrated furniture + advisory portfolio.
• Gensler Workplace: Gensler is a global architecture, design, and strategy firm with a dedicated Workplace practice publishing industry-leading workplace research (Workplace Survey). Comparable to Mellomrom in combining workplace research, strategy, and design delivery for major enterprises, but at global scale and across all building types.
• Cushman & Wakefield Workplace Strategy: Cushman & Wakefield offers enterprise workplace strategy and occupancy consulting as part of its global commercial real estate platform. Comparable to Mellomrom through workplace consulting for large occupiers, though it operates globally and from a CRE brokerage platform.

Emerging players

• Area Sq / Interaction: Interaction is a workplace consultancy supporting occupiers with workplace strategy, change management, and fit-out advisory. Comparable to Mellomrom in the advisory layer around workplace transformation, though typically operating as a smaller specialist than the global real estate firms.

Regional players

• Schmidt Hammer Lassen Architects: Schmidt Hammer Lassen is a Danish architecture firm with significant public-sector and workplace portfolios across the Nordics. Comparable to Mellomrom as a Scandinavian architecture peer advising large public and private clients on workplace and civic buildings, but based in Denmark rather than Norway.
