Alex Ark Interior Architect Oslo

We have had the pleasure of working with AlexArk on the complete renovation of our atrium house on Snarøya, and we could not be more pleased with the result. Renate's ability to see the potential in this characteristic home has been impressive, and we cannot praise her enough for the fantastic work she has done in creating beautiful yet functional spaces that meet all our needs and expectations. Her understanding of the period and unique qualities of our home, as well as her ability to highlight them through design choices, was evident from the start. She has managed to combine respect for the home's history with modern interior elements in a way that gives a real 'wow effect', and that brings the rooms to life in a way that we never could have imagined ourselves. We experienced that she took the time to listen and understand our needs and style, and the result is a home that truly feels tailored to our personality. She has created a balance between functionality and aesthetics that has transformed the house into a dream home, where we feel that both our taste and our lifestyle are reflected in an authentic way. Another important quality of Renate is the willingness to collaborate and the flexibility she has shown throughout the process – both when it comes to adapting to financial considerations, or when other challenges have arisen along the way. She was always open to making changes where necessary, and was very creative and solution-oriented to ensure that our needs and wishes were met. Her ability to make adjustments when the budget required it, without compromising the quality or the overall vision for the project, has been of great importance to us and has contributed to us feeling in safe hands throughout the process. We would also like to highlight Renate's technical knowledge and skills. She has a thorough understanding of materials, construction, space planning and, not least, lighting, which has been crucial for both the conceptualization and implementation of successful solutions for us. She has shown a real passion for her work, and it is clear that she has taken pride in delivering a top quality end result. Renate is a professional, committed and talented interior designer who has helped us create a home we are proud of. Working with her has been a pleasure, and we can highly recommend her!

In the spring of 2021, my husband and I bought a new apartment. It needed to be completely renovated, and we needed help to create the apartment of our dreams. We already knew Alex Ark and really liked what we had seen of their previous work. We are very satisfied with the collaboration – both with the process itself and not least with the final result. In such a large project, it is valuable to have a professional partner. The employees at Alex Ark are pleasant to work with, and the tone of the dialogue has always been positive and easy, whether we have had physical meetings or frequent contact by email. We received exciting design suggestions, and it was good to be able to trust that someone had an overview and followed up on everything that needed to be done. Alex Ark had suggestions for a contractor and a cabinetmaker and has followed up on these. The suggestions we received for products saved us a lot of time. We are very satisfied with the result and think we have a beautiful home with high quality in both design, solutions and work performed. For us, it was important to get a home that was a whole, where solutions were tailored to our needs and where the space was utilized in the best possible way. We got that.

AlexArk are very sick interior architects! In connection with the development of loft apartments, they have prepared high quality color and material palettes, with choices according to our budget. The apartments we have developed together with AlexArk are of high quality, where their palettes reflect and support our vision. Highly recommended!
