Ghilardi+Hellsten Arkitekter AS is an Oslo based practice founded in 2005 by Franco Ghilardi and Ellen Hellsten. The office is engaged in architecture, landscape and urbanism as a common discipline. We work with projects in all scales and degrees of complexity, where the ambition is to develop operative and intelligent designs, which are specific to each task and to its larger context, whether it is economic, social, and or political. Most of our commissions have been acquired through open or restricted competitions. Some are now being executed, while other projects purposely remain speculative or conceptual.
