A small-scale practice
in the heart of Trondheim

Arkitekturfabrikkens office with architectural models in the foreground and meeting room in the background.

Arkitekturfabrikken is a dedicated architectural practice in Trondheim, established in 2012, with extensive experience in residential architecture, hytter, rennovation, cultural projects and smaller commercial buildings, always rooted in place, people and strong architectural quality.

Architecture is for people. That is why we place great emphasis on how spaces, materials and surroundings affect us in everyday life. We work to create solutions that are beautiful, functional and cohesive, places that are good to live in, visit and move through.

We have particular expertise in residential architecture in Trondheim and Trøndelag, including detached houses, extensions and additions, cabins, and renovation and transformation projects, both interior and exterior.

Our practice

We develop solutions at all scales. From small interventions to larger projects - our designs respond to the brief regardless of size or complexity.

We offer close, personal guidance throughout the building process. By identifying the qualities that make your project unique, we work closely with you to create solutions that feel meaningful, appropriate and personal.

We work digitally and visually. Through the use of digital 3D software to develop and present our works, so that our customers can experience the design before construction begins.

We develop our projects in close dialogue with the customer – from the first sketches to the finished building.

Through clear communication and site-specific solutions, we create projects that are functional, beautiful and durable.
