Competences
We solve the city’s challenges through interdiciplinary design
Work processes
Crucial interaction
We specialize in urban development, and see that it's not the design of the individual office building, home or metro station that provides the answer. It's how they are connected to their surroundings and the interaction between them that are crucial. You work in the city, you eat in the city, you go to the hospital in the city. Every project is part of a brilliant ecosystem.
Stay ahead
We have years of expertise in everything from urbanism to the development of ground floors, urban housing, city offices and green urban spaces. The way we connect our different areas of expertise makes us experts in breaking down the urban ecosystem. We work continuously to develop and find new competences to stay ahead of the curve, and we are constantly testing new professional collaboration models. That's how we create innovation.
Future proof collaborations
Sustainability and technology work together. They weave their way into and infiltrate all our choices and decisions. As part of Multiconsult, we also draw on a wide range of professional expertise, from stormwater and mobility experts to solar engineers and heritage conservationists, helping to take solutions to new and unprecedented dimensions.
