Buildings that age beautifully.
We design calm, low-energy buildings in timber, stone and light — homes, workplaces and public spaces meant to be loved for a hundred years.

Practice
Less, but considered.
Atelier Nord is a studio of 24 architects and designers led by Ingrid Solberg and Marcus Wei. We work at every scale, from a single cabin to a city block, with the same obsession for proportion, daylight and material honesty.
Every project starts with the site and ends with a building that uses a fraction of the energy of its neighbours.

Process
Five phases, one team
01
Brief & site
We walk the land, study the light and write the brief with you.
02
Concept design
Models, sketches and two or three distinct directions to react to.
03
Developed design
Structure, energy modelling, materials and cost plan aligned.
04
Permits & detail
Planning, permits and a full construction set drawn in-house.
05
On site
Weekly site visits until the keys are in your hand — and a review a year after.
What drives us
Principles we build on
Good architecture is quiet, durable and generous to the people who use it.

average operational energy versus code-minimum buildings
Low-carbon first
Mass timber, reclaimed stone and lime plaster wherever the structure allows.
Daylight as material
Every room is modelled for light hour by hour, season by season.
Rooted in place
We design for the specific site, climate and culture — never a signature style.
