Bland Vallmo och Tallar

The task was to build 1000 housing units in the outskirt of Mölndal, a commuter town to Gothenburg.
The site is flat and rather undefined and is now the home to Åby horse race arena, the second biggest of its kind in Sweden.
Around the arena is a sprawl of horse stables and enclosed pastures, all this will be relocated to another area in a near future and this will liberate a great deal of land.

To create a notion of identity to the complete new residential area, a vast meadow will function as the visual core in the area.
The houses will cut through the meadow as long piers in a comb-like manner.
In between the apartment structures, there are terrace houses to create a healthy urban mix.

Entry for a Tsunami Memorial in Thailand.
The task was to create an appropriate memorial and remembrance place for everyone that was affected by the tragedy of the tsunami disaster 2004 . The immense mirror will provide all the subjective reflections that one can wish for in the complexity of this mission.
The section shows the differentiated experiences for the visitors.
Under the museum hangs gangways that functions as exhibition areas and also becomes an outdoor theatre amidst the jungle. The final room is glowing with light and offers complentation and introspectiveness.
360 meter long with mirrorglasses that reflects the jungle and the sky.
The pillars also functions as lights to lead the visitors through the jungle down to the beach via a dirt path.
At the very end of the roof/reflecting pool the visitors sees a spectacular view of the ocean and the building seems to dissolve into the horizon.
The tip in the end of the museum becomes a crystal that reflects and enhances light like a beacon over the sea.

The nearby cultural institutions at Götaplatsen, the most prominent square in Gothenburg, wanted a box office to reach more people and to vitalize the square.

Instead of the ordinary cube to be placed somewhere in the solemn square, a bunch of robots will do the job instead.
They work in ten hour shifts and then roam the streets of Gothenburg in their spare time to interact with the people.
This will activate the square, sell more tickets and be a lot more of fun.
