Dorte Mandrup is a Danish architecture studio specialized in working with irreplaceable places – landscapes, cultures, stories- This is an exhilarating struggle – a negotiation between place, history, culture and local identity with the architect brought in to create new relevance. The studio was founded in Copenhagen in 1999. Founder and creative director Dorte Mandrup still works hands-on and inspires her international team of 75 dedicated employees. All driven by a devout belief in the possibilities of contemporary architecture and an experimental curiosity that insists on outstanding craftmanship.

Wominjeka (Welcome). We acknowledge the Yaluk-ut Weelam as the traditional custodians of the land on which we meet. Yaluk-ut Weelam means ‘people of the river camp’ and is connected with the coastal land at the head of Port Phillip Bay, extending from the Werribee River to Mordialloc. The Yaluk-ut Weelam are part of the Boon Wurrung, one of the five major language groups of the greater Kulin Nation. We pay our respects to the land, their ancestors and their elders—past, present and to the future.
