Broad incumbents

• Snøhetta: Major Norwegian-headquartered architecture and design firm with interior architecture projects across workplace, cultural, and heritage buildings. Overlaps IARK on heritage-aware interior design and Norwegian public-sector projects, but offers a much broader architecture portfolio.
• Gensler: Global design and architecture firm with the world's largest workplace practice. Comparable service offering at global scale; competes for Norwegian enterprise workplace mandates where IARK also bids.
• White Arkitekter: Major Scandinavian architecture and interior design firm with strong sustainability credentials and Norwegian/Nordic public-sector work. Competes for adjacent mandates in Norway and the broader Nordic market.
• Nordic — Office of Architecture: Scandinavian architecture and interior design firm with significant Norwegian workplace and public-sector project experience. Comparable in serving Norwegian enterprise and government clients with sustainability-oriented design.

Direct peers

• M Moser Associates: Global workplace design and strategy consultancy operating across strategy, design, and delivery. Most direct comparability in service offering — fee-based workplace consulting, sustainability focus, and activity-based workplace design — but at far greater scale than IARK.
• IA Interior Architects: US-originated global interior architecture firm focused exclusively on workplace. Closely aligned to IARK's specialization in office interiors, reuse strategies, and enterprise client base.
• SAAHA Arkitekter: Norwegian architecture firm collaborating with IARK on NFI/Cinemateket. Overlaps with IARK on cultural-sector and heritage building interior projects in Norway.
• Unispace: Global workplace strategy and interior design consultancy serving enterprise clients. Directly comparable in fee-based workplace consulting, sustainability/circular design programs, and activity-based working methodology.
• Mad Arkitekter: Norwegian architecture firm that has directly collaborated with IARK on Storebrand/Hoffsveien and other projects. Competes for the same interior architecture work but operates at the broader architecture scope rather than specializing only in interiors.
• Dark Arkitekter: Norwegian architecture practice collaborating with IARK on heritage-building transformations such as Cappelen Damm. Overlaps directly on heritage/listed-building interior work in the Norwegian market.
