VERTE LANDSKAP & ARKITEKTUR AS

What VERTE LANDSKAP & ARKITEKTUR AS does

VERTE LANDSKAP & ARKITEKTUR AS is a Northern Norwegian architecture and design firm headquartered in Alta, Finnmark, with a branch office in Hammerfest. Founded in 1974 and self-described as Finnmark's largest architecture office, the firm operates with approximately 10–15 staff organized across four integrated service lines: architecture, landscape architecture, interior architecture, and area/spatial planning. The firm differentiates itself through deep specialization in subarctic climate design — addressing polar night, extreme cold, snow drift, and wind loads — and through its Miljøfyrtårn (Eco-Lighthouse) environmental certification.

The firm's core technology is BIM 3D modeling, used for analysis, collaboration, and visualization. It partners with engineering firms (Norconsult, Rambøll, SINTEF), contractors, and peer architecture practices (Momentum Arkitekter, BOARCH, AT Plan og arkitektur, GNIST Arkitekter) to deliver projects that exceed its internal capacity. Signature commissions include the 51,000 m2 Nye Kirkenes sykehus (with Momentum and BOARCH), the 90,000 m2 Campusplan UiT Alta for Statsbygg, the Lille Komsa BKS1 first-prize residential development, and the Byparken Finnsnes urban development for AMFI Eiendom.

Commercially, the firm generates revenue through project-based professional services fees, negotiated per engagement with public and private clients. Its primary customer segment is the Norwegian public sector — municipalities across Northern Norway, Statsbygg, Helse Finnmark HF, and church parishes — with a secondary segment of private developers. Sourcing relies heavily on architectural competitions and direct commissions, supported by a website portfolio and Facebook presence. The firm is partner-owned with no external investment, subsidiaries, or public listing, and is led by CEO Rakel Westgaard alongside department heads Henning Bek (Architecture and Interior Architecture) and Anita Veiseth (Landscape and Planning).
