Ekanger Fantini Arkitekter AS was founded in Oslo by two architects, MNAL Robert Ekanger Heilmann (b. 1979) and Niels Ange Aarsrud Fantini (b. 1989).
Robert and Niels hold Master’s degrees in architecture from NTNU in Trondheim (Norway) and EPFL in Lausanne (Switzerland), respectively, as well as a Master’s degree in Architectural Conservation from the Oslo School of Architecture and Design (AHO), where they met during their studies.
With a combined 30 years of experience in architectural design, building regulations, planning, and preservation processes, Robert and Niels have developed extensive expertise in the conservation of cultural heritage. They have significant experience in the reuse, restoration, rehabilitation, and transformation of historical buildings and environments, emphasizing the practical application of conservation principles. Their approach seamlessly blends the preservation of a site’s history and identity with sustainable, functional, and aesthetic solutions.
Both are passionate about creating architecture that respects and harmonizes with its surroundings, both historically and culturally. Through projects of varying scales in different countries, they have honed their ability to adapt to diverse conditions and challenges. Robert and Niels view architecture as a way of narrating a site’s history, ensuring that each project is developed with site-specific and individualized solutions while striving for a lasting and harmonious expression. Their goal is to create architecture that not only preserves but also continues the identity and history of a place while providing spaces for connection, life, work, culture, and tradition.
Ekanger Fantini Arkitekter has experience guiding projects from the initial sketches to completed buildings, including budgeting, detailed planning, execution, and final delivery. The office’s work is rooted in a holistic understanding of architectural quality, where historical references, functional requirements, and sustainable solutions play a critical role in shaping every project.
