Architecture Rooted in Purpose

Founded in Copenhagen in 1998, Atelier Nord has grown into a globally recognized practice with studios in New York, London, and Tokyo. Our team of 85 architects, designers, and strategists brings diverse perspectives to every project.

We believe great architecture emerges from a deep understanding of context—environmental, cultural, and human. Every project begins with listening, understanding how spaces will be used and experienced, and crafting solutions that are both beautiful and functional.

Our commitment to sustainability goes beyond compliance. We integrate passive design strategies, renewable materials, and biophilic principles to create buildings that tread lightly on the earth while enriching the lives of their inhabitants.

A Collaborative Process

Every project is unique, but our methodology ensures consistent quality and client satisfaction. We guide you through each phase with transparency and expertise.

01

Discovery

We begin with deep listening—understanding your vision, requirements, constraints, and aspirations. Site visits, stakeholder interviews, and research inform our initial direction.

02

Concept Design

Multiple design concepts are explored and refined through sketches, 3D models, and iterative feedback. We present options that balance creativity with practicality.

03

Design Development

The selected concept is developed in detail—materials, systems, and specifications are refined. We coordinate with engineers and consultants to ensure feasibility.

04

Documentation

Comprehensive construction documents are prepared for permitting and bidding. Our drawings are known for their clarity and thoroughness.

05

Construction

We remain actively involved during construction, conducting site visits, reviewing submittals, and addressing issues to ensure design intent is realized.
