aha+knap - International Architectural Practice

aha+knap/SAAHA is an international architectural practice operating across diverse architectural fields, from urban planning to creative solutions for programmatically complex tasks. The studio is led by two founding partners, Adnan Harambašić and Kenan Brčkalija, together with Thor Olav Solbjør from the SAAHA office in Oslo.

Distinctive Architectural Approach

aha+knap's recognizable architectural expression stems from combining Scandinavian design with local architectural expression. The studio pays special attention to existing topography and understanding the tradition of given locations, as well as using modern, often local materials. Their ability to reinterpret on-site situations forms the foundation for creating clear, architecturally distinct and functional solutions.

Comprehensive Design Services

The company specializes in design projects ranging from urban planning to smaller residential and design projects. They believe that close interdisciplinary collaboration within a broad network of international consultants provides optimal solutions for their clients.

Dual-Location Approach: Sarajevo and Oslo

aha+knap maintains offices in Sarajevo (Husrefa Redžića 1) and Oslo (Østre Elvebakke 7), enabling a unique combination of local understanding and international perspective. The studio finds satisfaction in creating architecture that fosters a sense of belonging rooted in location.
