Sanden Hodnekvam

Sanden+Hodnekvam Architects is an architecture studio founded by John Sanden and Ingvild Hodnekvam in 2014. The studio is based in Oslo and Nesodden, Norway, and is engaged in a varied range of projects all over the country.

Their work balances between simplicity in form and richness in tectonics and atmospheres. They seek simple solutions with honesty of materials and construction in mind, always striving for the rational, aesthetic and sustainable solution.

The studio has won several architectural competitions and their work is widely published. They have been included in Wallpaper`s list of the worlds most promising emerging practices, and their work have been nominated for the European Union Prize for Contemporary Architecture - Mies van der Rohe Award. Sanden+Hodnekvam is one of six selected studios for the norwegian national scenic route program 2022-2029. Both partners have also been teaching and are frequently guest critics at NTNU and AHO.

The studio is authorized by The National Directorate for Building Quality (DIBK) and is a member of The National Federation for Norwegian Architects (MNAL).
