THE PHILOSOPHY
WE ARE AN ARCHITECTURAL PRACTICE!
IN OUR AWARD WINNING ATELIER WE REGARD ARCHITECTURE ONE OF THE FINE ARTS AND OUR WORK AS THAT OF ARTISTS OF ARCHITECTURE. WE BELIEVE THAT BUILDINGS CAN HELP RECONNECT MAN WITH NATURE, SPARK JOY, CULTIVATE CALMNESS AND BE A SOURCE OF INSPIRATION. FOR YEARS WE HAVE BEEN WORKING WITH THE LOCAL GOTLANDIC NATURE AS A GENERATOR OF STRONG ARCHITECTURAL EXPRESSION. WE LOVE CONTEXT BASED WORK, WHETHER IT’S ON A SMALLER OR LARGER SCALE, LOCATED ON THE ISLAND, THE MAINLAND OR ABROAD.
LIKE ARCHITECTS OF PAST TIMES, WE TAKE GREAT PRIDE IN OUR PROFESSION AND STRIVE TO TAKE ON A LEADING ROLE IN THE ENTIRE BUILDING PROCESS. WE SPECIALIZE IN TAKING ARCHITECTURAL PROJECTS FROM INITIAL IDEA TO THE HANDING OVER OF THE KEY TO THE CLIENTS HAND. IN CLOSE COLLABORATION WITH CRAFTSMEN AND BUILDERS WE AIM TO CREATE PRAGMATIC AND BEAUTIFUL SPACES FOR LIFE, INSIDE AND OUT.
