Architecture
Sigge’s architecture is balance between aesthetics, functionality, technology and society. Our architectural design is always responsible and respects the end-user. It emphasizes the connection between space and place. We want to create balanced, stable and beautiful environments, structures and buildings that stand the test of time.

Consultation
A constructed environment, cities, the construction industry, architecture … The world around us is changing faster than maybe ever before.
Humanity, responsibility, safety and ethicality are values that we want to support with our architecture.
For 65 years, we have broadly designed various buildings and spaces of different sizes. Our architecture is aesthetical and sustainable while always technically functional, forward-looking and following directives.
Architecture plays a significant role in building future societies; we can continue creating an environment that enables a good life while considering our globe’s capacity at the same time. Thus, we are part of a meaningful change.


Project planning
Project planning is the most critical planning phase of a construction project. The project planning phase clarifies and solves the project’s background, objectives, circumstances, costs, schedule, and parties involved.
The project planning process entails the creation of a design manual regarding further work in the project. Also, the biggest and most important decisions are always made at this stage, so the process is without exception a collaboration between different parties.
In project planning, well begun is half done. We use different working methods, simulations, and workshops to ensure the design process’s quality and suitability to the project.
Architectural design and principal planning
The point of architectural design is to create building art that is accessible, aesthetic, safe and technically functional.
Architectural design is a form of collaboration where you look for the best possible solution with the design group. Good architecture is always created together with specialised designers and the client.
The architectural design process divides into different phases as the project advances: a space requirement report, design development process, site planning scheme, and various tasks during construction and usage are all part of architectural design.
In the principal planning process, the Lead Designer is responsible for supporting the team. They also supervise the drafting and follow-up of the design process and oversee the progress of the project. The Lead Designer’s tasks have been recorded into the Land Use and Building Act. The purpose of master planning is to ensure an accurate planning process, high-quality execution, and successful implementation of the project in its entirety.
The tasks and responsibilities within the master planning process are extensive. However, we believe that high-quality master planning is always an opportunity. With cooperation, the outcome can be more than just a compromise for all parties involved.

The art of continuity

Repair and restoration planning and design
Repair and restoration of a building is an act for the climate. Repair planning lengthens the building’s lifecycle, makes it more environmentally friendly and enables changing activities within the property.
The planning process for repair and restoration acknowledges the building’s original construction method and materials. It also considers that the repair methods are safe, healthy, and best suited for the restoration site. The project’s objectives and requirements are always carefully formulated together with the client. The background is also carefully mapped out.
Urban planning
We want to develop an urban structure that consists of a wholesome constructed environment, tight functioning city and dynamic city areas. When planning urban structures and city areas, you must understand the area’s characteristics, circumstances, and future vision.
Land-use planning is always a form of interactive and responsible planning that focuses on developing the whole area, not just a single plot of land.


Sustainable construction
We monitor the sustainability of a construction plan from many starting points. Our objectives for sustainable design are material- and energy efficiency, recyclability, lifetime optimisation, repairability, and minimal use of substances that harm the environment.
The construction solutions affect the usage and repair of a building throughout its lifecycle. Therefore, in addition to the climatic effects, good solutions increase well-being and usability.
When it comes to a building’s climatic effect, energy efficiency plays an essential part. However, material choices are also of the essence; the materials’ effects grow as the building’s energy efficiency improves. The most important things are the life cycle, carbon footprint, and the chosen material fitting the building’s purpose.
Sustainable construction planning is collaboration. The project’s sustainability is affected by spatial and technical solutions, the construction site and chosen materials. Close cooperation between the client, other designers and the constructor ensure the best possible outcome. As architectural and lead designers, we want to create sustainable buildings and thus build a sustainable society while always considering aesthetics, ethicality, and usability.
