Dissing+Weitling

Dissing+Weitling is a renowned, award-winning Danish architecture office based in Copenhagen. We design buildings and bridges in Denmark and worldwide. The office was founded in 1971 to continue the legacy that began with the work of Danish modernist icon Arne Jacobsen. Since then, the company has refined and developed this Scandinavian design tradition with works that have set new standards in design and architecture. Over the years, we have built up a professional portfolio including some of the world's most spectacular bridges and urban design as well as sustainable hotels and conference centers, attractive housing and residential areas, distinctive international business headquarters as well as building renovations for renowned cultural institutions. Our goal is to create optimal physical environments for human activity – at work, at home and in the public sphere. We have a clear and accommodating approach, characterised by user-centric solutions that pay particular attention to the physical, cultural and environmental context of each project. Regardless of scale, each project demonstrates a close relationship between technology and design – and we continuously explore the boundaries between design, innovation and sustainability. We seek to incorporate high-tech, sustainable solutions as an integrated part of the overall design strategy right from the first sketch.
