Architecture Intern, Spring 2027 – Schmidt Hammer Lassen

Danish practice Schmidt Hammer Lassen Architects has opened applications for its spring 2027 Schmidt Hammer Lassen internship, based at the firm’s brand new studio in Copenhagen NV. The placement runs from 4 February to 25 June 2027, and portfolios have to be uploaded no later than 15 November 2026. The vacancy was posted on 26 October 2026.

According to the listing, the practice’s current projects range from the restoration of the Danish National Bank, through masterplans and urban development, to the transformation of the historic Universitetsbyen buildings in Aarhus and of the former DSB railway workshop in Copenhagen. Much of the work therefore deals with existing and historic buildings as well as new design at city scale.

The internship

Interns contribute to competitions, design proposals and the early phases of project development. The practice describes knowledge sharing as one of the foundations of its internship programme. From the first day, every intern is paired with a mentor who supports and follows them throughout the placement, and the team actively invites questions, new ideas and constructive challenges based on what students bring from their own studies. The programme is rounded out with introductory days, workshops and study trips, so the semester combines project work with a structured learning track.
