What Atelier Lorentzen Langkilde does

Atelier Lorentzen Langkilde (ALL) is a privately held architectural atelier headquartered at H.C. Andersens Boulevard 7 in Copenhagen, Denmark, founded in 2014 by architects Kasper Lorentzen and Kristian Langkilde. The firm operates as a small studio of 1-10 employees, organized around a physical model workshop, and practices "architecture through sculpture" — a sculptural design approach that emphasizes contextual integration, circular design principles, material reuse, and sustainability certifications. Its practice spans seven interconnected service categories: architecture and masterplanning, commercial, cultural buildings, landscape, residential, transformation (renovation and adaptive reuse), and urbanism.

ALL's commercial model is project-based and competition-driven. The firm generates revenue through one-time commissions for architectural design services, with no publicly disclosed pricing tiers and pricing set per project based on scope, complexity, and scale. Go-to-market is entirely enterprise field sales into the public sector: ALL competes in national and international architectural competitions run by municipalities, government agencies, and cultural institutions, and converts competition wins into direct commissions. Customer base is concentrated in Scandinavia and Northern Europe (Denmark, Norway, Finland, Sweden, Estonia), with newer expansion into Germany, Hungary, and Poland via cultural and civic commissions. The firm is privately held by its two founding partners with no disclosed external investment, parent company, or acquisition activity.

Broad incumbents

• Snøhetta: Scandinavian architecture powerhouse with strong cultural-building portfolio (operas, museums, libraries). Comparable to ALL in Nordic origin and cultural/civic focus, but with multi-hundred-person staff and global presence.

• BIG (Bjarke Ingels Group): Danish-headquartered international architecture firm famous for sculptural, competition-winning cultural and civic buildings. Comparable to ALL in design-driven DNA and Northern European roots, but operates at vastly larger scale with global offices.
• Henning Larsen: Copenhagen-based architecture firm (now part of Rambøll) known for civic and cultural buildings across the Nordics. Direct regional peer to ALL with overlapping public-sector client base.
