Schmidt Hammer Lassen Architects is one of Scandinavia’s most internationally recognised and award-winning architectural practices. Established in Aarhus, Denmark, in 1986, the firm is today led by partners Kristian Ahlmark, Sanne Wall-Gremstrup, Chris Hardie, Elif Tinaztepe, Kasper Heiberg Frandsen, Mads Kaltoft, René Nedergaard, Nicolai Overgaard, and Anders Wesley Hansen.
Working from studios in Copenhagen, Aarhus, and Shanghai, Schmidt Hammer Lassen provides architectural services across the globe, with a strong track record in the design of high-profile international projects. The practice works across cultural and educational buildings, offices, commercial, retail, and residential projects - often within complex urban and mixed-use contexts - and across both new construction and the careful transformation of existing buildings.
The firm has extensive experience in libraries and other public and cultural landmark buildings, and approaches architecture as a long-term responsibility to the quality and longevity of our surroundings. This includes a considered engagement with renovation, refurbishment, and adaptive reuse, where existing qualities are preserved, reinterpreted, and strengthened to meet contemporary needs. Schmidt Hammer Lassen’s innovative, sustainable, and democratic approach to architecture has earned the practice more than 100 national and international awards. The firm is part of the global architecture and design firm Perkins+Will.
