URBAN DESIGN · DAYLIGHT ANALYSIS · KTH 2025

01 — Where Light Lives

Urban density is rising — and shared courtyards are often the first spaces to lose daylight. This thesis explores how an oval/circular residential block can be shaped to improve daylight conditions, courtyard quality, and spatial experience in dense urban environments.

Through form studies, simulations, and design proposals, the project compares different block strategies and shows how geometry, orientation, openings, and building height can turn daylight into a measurable design tool.

RESIDENTIAL · BROMMA · KTH 2023

02 — Vivax, Bromma

Designed for a site in Riksby, Bromma, VIVAX is a residential proposal focused on daylight, spatial efficiency, and shared outdoor life. The project combines five apartment typologies with a carefully planned courtyard landscape, creating a balance between private living and collective space. Solar studies informed the massing and facade design, while the overall proposal prioritises sustainability, circulation efficiency, and long-term residential quality.

ADAPTIVE REUSE · NITROLACKFABRIKEN · KTH 2025

03 — Factory Reimagined

An adaptive reuse proposal transforming a historic waterfront factory into the headquarters of Läkarteamet AB. Rather than concealing the building’s industrial character, the design highlights it through exposed structure, warm materials, and custom-built spatial interventions. Focus pods, collaborative spaces, and a new loft volume create a workplace shaped by both history and human interaction.

RESTAURANT DESIGN · KTH 2026

04 — Warmth by Design

Designed from site to atmosphere, this standalone restaurant merges architecture and interior into one continuous concept. Inspired by Alice in Wonderland, warm lighting, dark timber, reflective surfaces, and arched openings shape a dramatic yet intimate dining experience. The project explores how materiality, lighting, and movement can influence atmosphere and perception.

05 — Space, Considered

 

A 73m² framing boutique designed around atmosphere, materiality, and flow. The project is divided into three zones: a welcoming lounge, a central gallery wall, and a visible framing workshop. Warm wood, soft lighting, and herringbone flooring create a calm and curated customer experience inspired by boutique galleries and Scandinavian interiors

URBAN INTERVENTION · TENSTA CENTRUM · 2025

06 — Light as Safety

Tensta Centrum is often experienced as dark and underused, especially during evenings. This project proposes a canopy structure that follows existing movement paths while creating safer and more welcoming public spaces through integrated lighting, seating, greenery, and social zones. The intervention is designed to encourage people to stay, meet, and move through the square more comfortably.

BACKGROUND · SKILLS · EDUCATION

About

"Engineering the structure. Designing the feeling. Both, always."

I am a construction engineer and designer based in Stockholm, graduated from KTH Royal Institute of Technology with a degree in Building Technology & Design — specializing in architecture and property development. Alongside my engineering studies, I completed coursework in interior architecture, a direction that reflects a consistent interest in how spaces are not just built, but experienced.

My work spans scales and disciplines, moving between technical documentation, spatial concept, and material decisions with equal ease. I work in Revit, AutoCAD, SketchUp, Lumion, and Photoshop.

I am currently seeking my first professional role.

Available for opportunities — Stockholm & surroundings

Open to hybrid and on-site roles. Fluent in Swedish and English.

I bring the same structured thinking to a floor plan as I do to a moodboard — because the best spaces are both logical and felt.
