What Bjørbekk & Lindheim does

Bjørbekk & Lindheim AS is a Norwegian landscape architecture practice founded in 1986 and headquartered at Sagveien 23a, Oslo, with regional offices in Trondheim and Bø i Telemark. The firm delivers planning, project planning, and consulting services across 22 defined service categories spanning urban parks, schools, healthcare facilities, residential neighbourhoods, transportation infrastructure, waterfronts, cemeteries, and blue-green infrastructure, with stated specialisations in climate adaptation, stormwater management, universal accessibility, and empathetic design for dementia and healthcare settings. Its competitive positioning rests on a portfolio of 100+ projects that includes Nytt Regjeringskvartal (as part of Team Urbis), Livsvitenskapsbygget, Ensjø/Hovinbekken, Carpe Diem demenslandsby, and Bergen Lufthavn Flesland, supported by deep co-development relationships with Nordic Office of Architecture, SLA, Haptic Architects, and implementation partners Agaia and Braathen.

The firm operates as a professional services business on a project-based, quote-priced revenue model, with no standardised pricing tiers publicly disclosed. Go-to-market is enterprise field sales executed through two primary channels: Norwegian and Nordic architectural design competitions and public procurement (offentlig anskaffelse) RFPs from municipalities and government agencies such as Statsbygg, Oslo Kommune, Bærum, Asker, Trondheim, Alta, Ullensaker, Ulstein and Hamar, complemented by direct private developer engagements. Customer base is concentrated in Norwegian public-sector clients across four primary segments — Municipalities & Government, Healthcare Facilities, Educational Institutions, and (secondarily) Real Estate Developers — with no disclosed recurring-revenue or SaaS component. Marketing is portfolio-led, executed through the blark.no website, Instagram, LinkedIn and Facebook, and amplified via industry award submissions (DOGA, Norske Landskapsarkitekter, Statens byggeskikk, municipal architecture prizes) and trade press such as Arkitektur NO.
