Kristin Jarmund Arkitekter

The practice of Kristin Jarmund Arkitekter AS, established in 1985, has during the years attained a high profile on the architectural scene in Norway. This is confirmed with a series of awards and 1st prizes received in both private and open competitions. Today the practice maintains disciplines of Architecture, Planning and Interior Design. The practice’s best known works are Justervesenet laboratory and office building, the interior designs of "Bar and Restaurant" and the National Gallery Café in Oslo, the kindergarten and school projects Stensby, Benterud, Gulskogen, Råholt and Gjerdrum, Nydalen Metro Station in Oslo, Fokus Bank headquarter building in Oslo, Hus 21 at Tjuvholmen in Oslo and the Norwegian Embassy in Kathmandu, Nepal. The practice´s design philosophy aims at solutions that reduce complex problems to simplicity in form and function, yet still allowing for a sensitive awareness to context and the human dimension. Whilst keeping a sharp eye on the end result, we are well aware that good results come from successful processes. Making great architecture has always been a team-effort. Now more than ever the result of our work depends on a close collaboration with a number of players; the client, public administration, specialised consultants, conservation authorities and above all the end users. At Kristin Jarmund Arkitekter AS we have the skills and experience to guide and nurture the process through every phase of a project, from public planning through schematic design and construction documents - to successful execution on site.
