Brief description

Jarmund/Vigsnæs AS Arkitekter was established in 1996 by Einar Jarmund and Hakon Vigsnaes. In 2004 Alessandra Kosberg was included a third partner. The firm is located in Oslo, Norway.

We are working in a wide architectural range with commissions mainly in Norway, but also in other European countries. The majority of our finished works are public buildings and housing projects. We are also involved in urban planning and building interiors; aiming to cover all corners of architectural field. We are focusing on the independent concept for every single project, avoiding general stylistic approaches. We give priority to early participation in creative programming and an attentive relation towards the surroundings.
