Christensen & Co

Christensen & Co was established in 2006 by architect Michael Christensen. CCO quickly won its first competition for designing a campus for the Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm, Sweden. The winning entry had an ambitious environmental profile with energy consumption at a third of what was considered normal in similar buildings at the time. Since then, the firm has won several international architectural competitions, including a 70,000 m2 research and educational centre at the Karolinska Institute in southern Stockholm (2008), a sustainable masterplan for a new district in the Dutch city Almere (2009), and a new city hall in Lund, Sweden (2010). Christensen & Co has also designed Denmark's first public CO2-neutral building, a faculty building designed for the Faculty of Science at the University of Copenhagen.

CCO specialises in creating learning environments, research facilities, pharma, cultural venues, sports facilities, and interior design projects. They have completed various projects across Scandinavia, Europe, and North America, including new constructions, renovations, and transformations. Notably, CCO has designed 19 specialised buildings for the Danish Technical University.

The studio assists public clients and private companies translate visions and desires into new physical spaces of high architectural quality. CCO works with all phases of construction from initial sketches and clarification to the final delivery of the construction, including interior design, special furnishings, and wayfinding.

CCO works based on research and analysis, in an interdisciplinary process where honed skills are combined with valuable input from clients and users. The approach is analytical and ensures a unique integrated solution in each project.
