REFRAME has collaborated along time with different architectural and engineering companies, from house extensions to apartments, offices and urban planning. That broad experience gives us a solid understanding of the requirements but also the importance of the cross-disciplinary approach early in the process.

For the time being the office is working on different scale projects from cabins and houses to office refurbishments.

The office has a extensive network of collaborators (architects, urban planners and engineers) and therefore we can scale up according to the time frame and complexity required by the project.

Just drop by for a chat and to see how can we help you REFRAME your approach within the existing budget.

REFRAME arkitektur has The Norwegian Competency Certificate, Grade 2 (Sentralt Godkjent tiltaksklasse 2) from the National Norwegian Building authority (DIBK.no).

In our office we have BREEAM NOR certification AP, BREEAM Communtiies certified consultant from BRE UK, ENOVA certified consultant and Design Thinking coach (cross disciplinary processes).

In REFRAME we are using BIM as a daily approach to our projects and REVIT, among other Autodesk products,is the main tool to design our ideas and details to put them into practice.

The interdisciplinary approach led to having also desinger as part of our team, to be able to gain an extra layer of understanding both the communication with our clients, but also a different angle to the dynamic of digital platforms.
