Ever since OSLO WORKS was founded by Siri Bakken and Gudmund Stenseth in 2016, the Norwegian architecture studio has seen big growth in terms of both size and experience. “We had a substantial development in a very short time – we’ve been very busy. Today, our office consists of 14 employees with a great range of competence and knowledge,” says architect Francis Brekke. He joined the firm as partner in August 2017, along with Håvard Skarstein. 116 | Issue 129 | October 2019
Covering a wide spectrum of expertise, from large, urban zoning plans and architectural programming to project detailing and completion of built projects, the architecture studio currently has ongoing projects in Tromsø, Trondheim and the Oslo region. In the summer of 2016, OSLO WORKS was contracted by DNB Næringseiendom NE to renovate the entrance and shared areas in the office building Akerselva Atrium.
