Geir Brendeland founded Brendeland & Kristoffersen with Olav Kristoffersen in 2003. Based in Trondheim in Norway, the practice’s most recent projects include Hage, a garden in Lund, Sweden, that will become the heart of a future piece of city.

The practice was a finalist in the AR Emerging awards in 2005 – in which they received an honourable mention for their timber Svartlamoen housing project in Trondheim – as well as in 2008.

Brendeland is a professor at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology in Trondheim and is frequently a visiting critic at several international architecture schools.
