About us

A multi-disciplinary architecture and design house.

Who we are

Our strength is that we combine breadth of expertise with deep specialist knowledge — and are able to collaborate across disciplines and locations.

Dark Design Group is a multi-disciplinary community made up of DARK Arkitekter, LARK Landskap, ZINC interior architects, DARK Stavanger, DARK Bergen, DARK Nordfjord, DARK Gdansk, DARK Fredrikstad and HK Arkitekter. Together we form one of Norway’s largest and most accomplished professional environments within architecture, landscape architecture, spatial planning and interior architecture.

For us it is essential to build a shared, cross-disciplinary understanding of and ownership over the brief early in the process. We achieve this through workshops and close, dialogue-driven collaboration with the client, our partners and each other.

We create lasting and beautiful architecture and design for people and communities, and always look for innovative and sustainable solutions in every project.
