As an experienced studio with a global presence, a balance of hands-on capabilities and artistic sensitivity is at the core of our design language. With it is an unending call for adaptability and responsiveness. We are redefining beauty by the lasting impact of our designs. Founded in 1959 by Danish architect Henning Larsen – whose legacy of creativity and learning we carry today – we navigate the complex connections that bind together our built environment, ecological systems, and societies at large. Working across architecture, landscape, urban design and interiors, we maintain acute attention to detail whilst never losing sight of the bigger picture. It is this that enables us to manifest lasting change as we co-create, innovate, and cultivate desirable futures through design. With more than 600 employees, our design community is spread across studios in eight countries.

At 3XN, we believe that buildings are more than the sum of their parts and constantly seek to achieve a synthesis of design, function and context. Our buildings are uniquely matched to each project but always seek to combine beauty and meaning by putting people at the center of design. Designing buildings that are light and connected, ensures clarity and well-being for their users. Our work is founded in ongoing research into how buildings reflect and inform human behavior and the environment – this allows us to advance innovative solutions to contemporary challenges. We constantly seek to enhance a sense of community, identity and relationship to others through beautiful and functional spaces. Research is essential to our design and allow us to push the boundaries of aesthetics and functionality. Each project stands on the shoulders of previous work allowing us to constantly evolve and develop our know-how. As we learn from project to project, we apply this learning in new ways to add lasting value to our architecture and our practice. Today our staff is a mix of experienced project architects and talented young design architects from over 20 nationalities. We work on a global scale but take pride in our history and Scandinavian roots bounded by humanistic values. This allow us to re-invent tradition with a clear understanding of some of the most exciting and pressing challenges of the 21st century.
