December 2023 —
Extension — A new entrance and restaurant for Salen and Paul Svensson. The vision is to create the world's foremost meeting place for the sustainability of the future, in the middle of the Swedish mountains. 'Salen' is a vision by Tomas Kaiser, where sustainable development is the focus. A center where the gastronomy, culture and grassroots innovation of the future can be accommodated under the same roof. With a restaurant signed by Paul Svensson, the level of ambition is immediately set high. Swedish ingredients in season meet genuine world-class cooking. We got asked to create a new extension and restaurant housing this new program in an exiting building from the mid 00’s and our decision to work with an exposed CLT structure felt very at home for both context and program.
November 2023 — Hemmesta Water Tower — Our proposal for the new Hemmesta water tower. We choose to challange the traditional shape of a water tower. By placing the body of water inbetween to circular planes of concrete, creating a highly rational H structure in one axis and a clean circular geometry in the other. Thus marrying the optimal placement of program with playful geometric clearity.
