CEBRA

CEBRA is a Danish architectural office founded in 2001 by the architects and founding partners Mikkel Frost, Carsten Primdahl and Kolja Nielsen. From April 2017, architect MAA Mikkel Hallundbæk Schlesinger has been appointed partner. CEBRA employs a multidisciplinary international staff of more than 65 architects, constructing architects, urban planners, landscape architects, academics, and administrative personnel. Our head office is in Aarhus, Denmark, with branch office in Copenhagen, DK, and Abu Dhabi, UAE. CEBRA creates architecture to move people. By combining a deep understanding of the project context and the client's needs with a strong artistic ambition, we design meaningful spaces that inspire people, stimulate the senses, connect to nature, and encourage positive change. Our approach is open-minded and based on dialogue. Empathy is at the core of how we create architecture, and we listen to the world around us to gain a deep understanding of local cultures, conditions, climate, and building traditions. At the same time, we focus on creating architecture for the senses. In interdisciplinary teams we practice artistic leadership and speak up for emotional impact to create architecture that is both bold, beautiful, and useful.
