A strong "we-culture"

At Gottlieb Paludan Architects, we celebrate our "We-culture" and community-focused approach to our work. We see this as essential to achieving the very best results. We are open, curious, and respectful of each other’s input, ideas, and opinions. No one can succeed alone, and together we are at our best – this is our philosophy. We strive to be more than just a workplace; we aim to be a place where you are enriched, challenged, and develop professionally. Our unwavering ambition is to be the most attractive and exemplary workplace, offering the highest professional standards and aspirations. We are deeply passionate about our profession, each other, and fostering strong collaborations both within the organization and with external partners.

Strong professional expertise

Our two creative directors are actively involved in all of the company's projects, emphasising collaboration and the development of the best ideas and solutions.

Our ambition for strong professional expertise is supported by a variety of initiatives within the studio – including internal networks (Landscape, Materials, Project Management, Transformation, and Mobility). We also facilitate a project leader forum and organise internal training sessions.

Additionally, we host Salons featuring presentations from both internal and external speakers, go on excursions, and every other year, we take a shared study trip. Every Friday morning, we gather for internal presentations on the studio’s projects, professional initiatives, and general updates.

Internship with us

At Gottlieb Paludan Architects, interns are a valuable and integral part of the company, and their internship is viewed as an opportunity to develop and professionalize their skills within the field. All interns are offered the GPA Practice module and are assigned a mentor who acts as a guide throughout the internship period. The mentor ensures that the program challenges the interns’ abilities and equips them for a professional career in the construction industry.

The best part of my internship was becoming an integral part of a project and getting to follow and understand all the processes involved in guiding projects through real-world scenarios.
