About me
Bjarte Knobel

I'm an architect based in Oslo, working between building design and building data - trained in architecture, now mostly building the tools that turn floor plans into structured information.

At Arealize I work on floor-plan digitisation: annotation quality, room-type classification, and the tooling that keeps a large pipeline honest. The architectural side stays close to the ground - renovation, wet rooms, and the build-ups and regulations that decide what actually gets built.

I trained at NTNU with a focus on sustainable architecture, building transformation, and real estate development, and that's still the pull - the point where a design decision meets how a building actually gets built, used, and paid for. It's what drew me to Arealize, and the kind of work, spanning design and real estate, that I want more of.
