Core offering

Ekanger Fantini arkitekter is a Norwegian architectural practice providing professional architectural design services for cultural heritage, historic environments, landscapes, and new buildings in established settings. The firm guides projects from early site analysis and concept development through planning, regulatory approvals, detailed design and construction, specialising in transformation, rehabilitation, and adaptive reuse of historically and culturally significant buildings and landscapes for public and private clients in Norway and Switzerland.

Product overview

Ekanger Fantini arkitekter is a Norwegian architectural practice offering comprehensive architectural design services for cultural heritage, historic environments, and sensitive landscape contexts. The practice operates as a single unified service rather than a platform-plus-modules architecture, providing end-to-end project guidance from early analysis and concept development through planning, approvals, detailing, and construction. Their portfolio includes completed rehabilitation and transformation projects (HOOS, GAOS, DAOS, SPOS, MOOS), ongoing projects (CAPU, EIRO), and research initiatives (MAST), all united by their approach to developing contemporary architecture through analogy rather than imitation, working across scales for public and private clients.
