Johan Sundberg Arkitektur

Johan Sundberg Arkitektur AB works with clients throughout Sweden on private residences, multiple-family homes, interiors and special projects.

The firm has its roots in Johan Sundberg’s architectural work. The firm got off to a running start when the 2006 project Villa Bergman Werntoft, which was originally a thesis project, was nominated for the Swedish architecture magazine Arkitektur’s 2007 Debut Prize. Many projects have followed.

The firm was selected as one of the world’s most interesting young architectural firms for Wallpaper Architects Directory 2010. Today, Lund-based Johan Sundberg Architecture shares many of the firm’s daily responsibilities with a number of associate architects, and their finished projects are featured in architecture press from all around the world.

Johan Sundberg also teaches at the Architecture Department of Lund University’s Faculty of Engineering (LTH). Many of the firm’s employees have been educated at the same institute.

About our architecture
Consulting an architect should be a matter of course when investing in a construction endeavour. Instead of a standard solution, the result becomes an aesthetically and functionally coherent composition.

Architect-designed houses are more than merely site-specific plans; they are also charged with positive emotion for the clients. In addition, the houses’ sentimental and economic value augments steadily over time. Dialogue with the clients is the natural point of departure in the studio’s design process.

The architect is an analyst, composing a holistic solution that combines the necessities of everyday with memories of the past and dreams of the future. In collaboration with our clients, we follow the project from the initial sketches to the housewarming party. Unlike other actors in the construction industry, we take responsibility for the project in its entirety along the way.

The architectural project should accommodate many diverse uses for many generations to come; that’s why it is vital that no one element dominates the others. Architecture is a means to an end, and the objective is to build opportunities for a rich and versatile life on the site.
