Profile - Christensen & Co

CCO Architects is a Danish firm working across Scandinavia, Europe, and North America. Founded in 2006, we create high-quality architecture with innovative solutions that deliver lasting value. Working across interiors, architecture, and landscapes, we believe the best results come from integrating these disciplines from the start.

In 2024, RITA arch, an interior design and interior architecture firm, became part of CCO Architects. RITA arch was founded in 2018 with a mission to create spaces that are inspiring to use and inhabit. The mission and values remain intact and continue as part of CCO Architects. The work of being design-strategic with a focus on corporate culture, values, and brand, and the work of creating interiors that are based on the customer’s identity and needs, contribute to greater employee well-being and can therefore be seen on the bottom line, continues at CCO Architects.

In September 2025, Thing Brandt Landscape became part of CCO Architects. They bring strong expertise in designing landscapes that balance aesthetics and function, while fostering ownership, activity, and shared experiences. Their work is driven by creativity, dialogue, and interdisciplinary thinking, with strengths in LAR, climate adaptation, and outdoor environments for housing, healthcare, and education. This strengthens our holistic approach, where landscapes, architecture, and interiors come together in cohesive ways.

What we do

CCO Architects helps public and private clients turn their visions into high-quality physical spaces. We handle all construction phases, from initial sketches to final delivery, including interior design, custom furnishings, and wayfinding.

Through research-driven, interdisciplinary collaboration with clients and users, we ensure each project delivers a unique, integrated solution. Our commitment to architectural quality and close client collaboration has resulted in over 500,000 m² of completed buildings across:

We are experts in process management, user involvement, and universal design. Our services span small renovations, transformations, and state-of-the-art new constructions, always aiming for socially, economically, and environmentally sustainable solutions that align with clients’ goals and values.

Close collaboration with clients, users, and multidisciplinary partners, from engineers and contractors to consultants and specialists, is central to creating flexible, future-proof buildings of high architectural quality. This approach has earned awards and professional recognition.

We have groundbreaking projects in timber construction (CLT), such as DTU Climate Challenge Laboratory, Heerup School, and Kistefossdammen Kindergarten. We also work on Design for Disassembly in projects like NOL and DTU R3 Platform B112.

We are a creative professional community of around 50 dedicated and talented architects, engineers, and humanists, plus approximately 20 landscape architects.
