Lars Gitz Architects

Lars Gitz Architects is a Scandinavian based international studio for architecture, planning and design. The design studio was established in 1997 by Lars Gitz after he won the first prize in the Future housing for students Competition, while he was still a student at the Royal Danish Art Academy in Copenhagen. The studio is recognized for consistently challenging traditional pre-conceptions of space and form. Research is a vital ingredient for the studio and a balance between experimental and real projects is kept in order to remain at the cutting-edge of the field. Our combined design and architectural skills result in a meticulous attention to detail. The way things are put together and the materials they are made from combine to produce buildings that communicate the care taken to achieve the project. By designing each and every aspect of the building, from general organization to the nuts and bolts, and through careful oversight during construction, we produce architecture and design beyond normal standards. The studio recognizes the contributing factors of context, site, client and program, design and detail in every aspect of the work, to achieve the highest levels of functionality and form. We take a proactive role in leading the design team. All activities and costs are monitored throughout the tightly controlled construction process enabling completion date objectives and budgets to be kept under control. The management of projects is considered as important as the creative process and it is this commitment that gives the confidence to pursue innovation both in design and procurement strategies.
