Practice

Atelier Nord was founded in 2009 on a single working principle: a building drawn carefully and a commission run carelessly is still a failure. We keep both halves in the same building — a small technical office that never stops checking a junction, and a client portal that keeps every drawing, invoice and site report on the record for as long as the project runs.

We take on a small number of residential and cultural commissions a year, each led personally by one of the four architects below. There is no separate delivery team — the person who designs the building is the person who answers the phone during construction.

Team

  • Ingrid Solberg

    Founding Partner

    Founded the practice in 2009 after eleven years at Snøhetta. Leads design on every cultural commission personally, and will not delegate a section drawing.

  • Marcus Feldt

    Partner

    Structural engineer turned architect. Runs the technical office — tolerances, junctions, and the drawings that never make the portfolio but keep the building up.

  • Priya Anand

    Associate

    Leads on-site delivery for residential commissions. Visits every live project weekly until handover; has never missed one.

  • Tomas Lindqvist

    Architect

    Joined from the model workshop and still builds every study model by hand before anything goes to CAD.

Method

  1. Concept

    A measured survey, a brief written back to the client for sign-off, and a first section before a single plan.

  2. Planning

    The design fixed enough to submit, drawn to the level a planning officer — not a client — reads.

  3. Tender

    A full drawing and specification set issued to contractors, priced and compared line by line.

  4. Construction

    Weekly site visits, a revision log for every drawing that changes, and an invoice schedule tied to progress.

  5. Handover

    A completion certificate, the full drawing history, and the vault of every document, still available in the portal.
