C.F. Muller Architects

Muller Copenhagen, Anna Maria was leading a small team of 6 employees with whom she successfully won the firm's first major cultural project with the extension of the National Gallery of Denmark. Subsequently, and with the profound national recognition that followed with the responsibility to design one of the most remarkable cultural venues in the country, Anna Maria reluctantly continued working towards positioning the firm internationally, too.

Muller Architects. Throughout her career at C.F. Muller Architects, Anna Maria not only led numerous award-winning national and international projects, she also managed to establish two branches of the firm, contributed to the firm's professionalisation and internationalisation, paved the way for the younger generation to form part of the management-group, and growing the Copenhagen office from 6 to 95 highly skilled architects.
