EFFEKT
Lunch with an Architect
EFFEKT means "impact" in Danish. A name full of promises!
Founded in 2007, EFFEKT is a design studio based in Copenhagen, dedicated to transforming social and environmental challenges into sustainable solutions. Tue, the founder of the agency, takes a holistic approach, blending bold architectural visions with a commitment to social and environmental responsibility. By adopting a systemic approach, EFFEKT combines research and design to align data, lived experience, beauty, and ecological responsibility. The studio brings together more than 50 experts across various fields, from architecture to research.
EFFEKT works toward a livable and just future by creating innovative projects ranging from the transformation of public spaces to tools for climate action. The studio fosters collaboration and collective action to encourage sustainable change in the industry, breaking down silos and building partnerships around shared values.
EFFEKT’s projects span a wide range of typologies, from innovative masterplans to immersive architectural and landscape projects. They have led the design of internationally recognized destinations such as the Camp Adventure Tower, the Hamaren Activity Park, and the Vejle Viewpoints, as well as transforming industrial spaces into vibrant community hubs like GAME Streetmekka Esbjerg and GAME Streetmekka Viborg (2018).
At the 2021 Venice Biennale of Architecture, EFFEKT explored the question "How will we live together?"—challenging conventional ways of living, building, and consuming, while reimagining a future in harmony with nature. This thinking continues to shape Tue's work, ensuring that each project is a step toward more resilient, connected, and livable environments.
Currently, EFFEKT is engaged in project development in Denmark, Norway, Switzerland, the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, Japan, Australia, and Portugal.
