History

Christensen & Co was established in 2006 by architect Michael Christensen who came from a position as partner and managing creative director in Henning Larsen Architects. Only a few months later the firm won a competition for the design of a campus for the Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm, Sweden.[1] The winning entry had a high environmental profile with an energy consumption only a third of what is normal in similar buildings.[2] Since then firm has won a number of international architectural competitions, including a 70,000 m² research and educational centre at the Karolinska Institute in southern Stockholm (2008),[3] a sustainable masterplan for a new district in the Dutch city Almere (2009)[4] and a new city hall in Lund, Sweden (2010).[5] 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.[6]

Organisation

In 2016, Vibeke Lydolph Lindblad, Michael Werin Larsen, Mikkel Hermann Sørensen og Thomas Nørgaard joined Michael Christensen as partners of Christensen & Co. Vibeke Lydolph Lindblad was appointed to CEO while Michael Christensen still holds the position as creative director.[7]
