On May 18, 2026, Arkitektkontoret Nils Tveit AS became part of Halvorsen & Reine AS. Then, the newly moved and newly renovated premises in the old county hall at Gamle Kirkeplass will accommodate a total of 31 employees, and Halvorsen & Reine AS will be expanded with skilled employees with experience and history from one of the region's leading and well-reputed architectural offices.
The architectural firm Nils Tveit AS represents a professional environment with broad experience in most project categories, including complex buildings for trade and industry, and has developed special expertise in swimming pools. The latter has also given the office the State Award for Building Quality. The professional environment offers a clear focus on the customer's needs, and a clearly expressed architectural responsibility, a large production and a proud history. The employees bring with them a strong culture of cooperation and a good working environment.
With the expansion, Halvorsen & Reine AS will gain greater capacity and be strengthened professionally, and a stable and good working environment will become even more solid. The office's long history and traditions will be continued with increased strength into future-oriented activities.
Our goal is to be an office with broad and versatile architectural and project development expertise. We work with all phases and facets of the architectural profession, from early planning and feasibility assessments, to the last small details on both small and very large buildings. We focus on the client and on the architect's responsibility for value creation, community building and good visual surroundings.
Competence and experience
The extended professional community works purposefully for high architectural quality. Customers should experience added value, and the projects should contribute positively to their surroundings. As one of the region's largest architectural offices, and one of the few that still stands outside the large consulting companies, we will maintain the ability to assist quickly and contribute actively to development.
Local roots – regional and national reach
Our heart may beat a little extra for the Drammen region, but we are also a significant player regionally and nationally. With 31 employees, we have the professional weight and capacity required to handle complex assignments, while maintaining the close follow-up that our customers value.
We look forward to embarking on the path forward as a strong team, and look forward to shaping the environment of the future together with our customers and partners.
