Lundgaard & Tranberg Arkitekter is a Copenhagen-based architectural firm established in 1985 by Boje Lundgaard and Lene Tranberg. The firm emerged after winning a masterplan competition for Blangstedgaard, bringing together construction technology expertise and rigorous attention to detail, principles that have underpinned its work ever since.
The office is notable for an early and ongoing engagement with museum architecture, with projects such as Trapholt Museum and the Workers Museum marking the start of a long collaboration with cultural institutions. Their public profile rose sharply in the mid-2000s with the completion of the Tietgenkollegiet student residence and the Royal Danish Playhouse—projects recognized internationally for their architectural innovation and their contribution to Copenhagen’s urban life.
Today, Lundgaard & Tranberg Arkitekter employs approximately 65 people and operates under a partner structure led by Lene Tranberg and six other partners. The firm delivers projects across Denmark and internationally, covering museums, theatres, educational facilities, commercial buildings, and urban spaces. Recent work includes the subterranean Natural History Museum of Denmark in Copenhagen, the Museum of Danish Resistance, and the sustainable office building Pier47.
Their practice integrates architecture, landscape, and urban design, alongside research into sustainable building technologies. Lundgaard & Tranberg Arkitekter has received multiple national and international accolades, including at least six RIBA European Awards for significant contributions to contemporary architecture. Their project portfolio demonstrates an ability to respond sensitively to site and context, with a focus on creating meaningful atmospheres and robust social frameworks.
