Arkitema Architects

Arkitema Architects is a Danish architectural firm headquartered in Aarhus with branch offices in Copenhagen, Stockholm, Oslo and Malmö. Arkitema Architects has about 400 employees and is active mainly in the Scandinavian market.

History

The firm was founded in 1969 as Arkitektgruppen Aarhus by five students from the Aarhus School of Architecture after they won a competition for the design of Køge Town Hall. They were Helge Tindal, Ole Nielsson, Michael Harrebæk, Eriling Stadager and Lars Due. Today Arkitema Architects has 14 partners.

In 1990, Arkitektgruppen Aarhus won the Nykredit Architecture Prize.[1] In 2003 the firm changed its name to Arkitema Architects and in 2004 it merged with AA Arkitekter to be able to expand internationally.[2]

In 2011, as part of its continued efforts to grow on the Scandinavian market, Arkitema Architects acquired majority ownership of Swedish Dot Arkitekter.[3] In 2015 Arkitema Architects opened an office in Oslo, Norway.
