Transformation
Architecture is about transforming the context of cities, places, or buildings to be preserved and filled with new life; to convert existing buildings and areas to better utilization and new functions. To give old buildings a boost and fill them with new content. A change for the better.

Today's green shift forces new and different ways of thinking. As one of Scandinavia's most prominent architectural firms, we have the very best conditions for influencing the environment and society around us in a positive direction and contributing to sustainable development. Value creation lies in how we can affect the environment in terms of people and culture.
We have extensive experience with transformation projects, from urban development, where we create new urban spaces in a greener context, to security renovations with living environments where it is safe and attractive to travel. We believe that architecture can contribute to solving social challenges, and LINK can, in several projects, point to decriminalization and increased security for residents.
Our expertise also embraces the renovation and rehabilitation of buildings to preserve the existing and add new life. Here, reuse and reuse are essential and active use of our digital LINK Compass for sustainable architecture. We have experience with revitalizing commercial buildings and rehabilitating facades with the reuse of building elements. Reuse and reuse of furniture are also central to several of our projects. In addition, we have cutting-edge expertise in restoring buildings worthy of preservation and good contacts with the protection authorities.
LINK's architectural philosophy involves active participation in the transformation market with focus and reuse rather than demolishing and building new. Through a circular way of looking at the world, we can play a vital role in helping to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by showing respect for the existing and at the same time thinking new and creatively. Together with the client, we can challenge each other to find suitable sustainable solutions together.
