Design Competitions

International | Various Locations

Design competitions provide an opportunity to push the boundaries of architecture, testing ideas that blend imagination, context, and innovation. Through these conceptual explorations, the firm embraces the freedom to pursue bold design solutions that may not be constrained by the typical requirements of development, allowing creativity to reach its fullest expression.

Each competition entry is approached as a laboratory for ideas — an exercise in exploring new forms, materials, and relationships between people and place. These projects are as much about process as outcome, sparking new design approaches that often inform future built work.

A notable example is the Iceland Visitor Center, a conceptual project inspired by the country's dramatic volcanic landscapes and cultural heritage. The design sought to create a structure that emerged from the earth itself, drawing on the imagery of Viking history while integrating sustainable strategies and a deep respect for the surrounding environment.

Through international competitions, the firm continues to refine its design voice, challenge conventions, and contribute to a global dialogue on architecture's role in shaping the future.
