SAAHA is an international architecture office based in Oslo, Norway. We operate with a unique mindset: we aspire to be "the world's largest small office".
While our clients work with a dedicated, agile core team, we act as curators for a vast network of specialised partners. This allows us to assemble the perfect combination of people, tools, and knowledge for every specific challenge.
Our diverse team represents seven different nationalities, bringing a cross-cultural perspective to every project. We also maintain close ties with our sister office in Sarajevo, AHAKNAP.
Our work has received national and international acclaim, including multiple nominations for the Mies van der Rohe Prize (European Union Prize for Contemporary Architecture).
We are proud winners of the Norwegian Steel Construction Prize, WAN Awards for Best Bridge, and the WAFX Award in the Re-use Category, and Building of the year Award.
Our Philosophy:
We have no predetermined style or "house concepts". Instead, we believe that every project is unique and that the best results come from intense collaboration.
• Free from Dogma: We embrace openness and curiosity rather than rigid forms.
• Credible & Grounded: Architecture must be timeless, functional, and economically sound.
• Value-Creating: We generate real benefits for both the client and the community.
• Co-Creation: We break down silos between disciplines. We view nature as a stakeholder equal to the client and the users, turning complex constraints into elegant, integrated solutions.
