Kristian Ødegaard
Managing director
Kristian was engaged to establish the Archimatika office in Oslo in the fall of 2019. He has more than 30 years of diverse experience as an architect, with responsibilities spanning design, detailed construction planning, and architectural team management.
His work encompasses all aspects of architecture, from initial project sketches to on-site construction supervision across a wide range of residential, office, and commercial projects. His previous work experience includes: Arcasa Arkitekter (Partner, 2005–2019) / Freelance architect (2001–2004) / Arcasa Arkitekter (1998–2001) / Niels Torp AS (1996-1998) / GWB, Munich, FRG (1993–1995) / Planungsbüro Prof. Schuck, Munich, FRG (1991–1993).
Kristian holds a MSc in Architecture from the Technical University of Munich (1991), along with a basic course (grunnfag) in the history of ideas (1985) and a minor degree (mellomfagstillegg) in Russian (1984), both from the University of Oslo.
This website showcases a selection of our projects from both Norway and Ukraine, as well as examples of Kristian’s work prior to 2019.
Team Norway in Kyiv
Archimatika maintains a dedicated core team of architects in Kyiv who are well acquainted with Norwegian planning, having worked on Norwegian projects for several years.
The size of the team and the expertise involved are continuously adjusted to match the volume and complexity of tasks. This ensures that the workload is managed efficiently, allowing us to meet agreed-upon deadlines – something we highly prioritize.
The teams in Oslo and Kyiv hold a regular video conference each week to review pending tasks and other issues. To keep track of tasks and follow-ups, we use an interactive cloud-based spreadsheet, which also enables direct communication – for instance, resolving design or technical matters. Drawings and documents are delivered as agreed, either by uploading them to a web hotel or as email attachments.
Since the startup in 2019, 6–8 colleagues in Kyiv have gained extensive experience working on Norwegian projects.
