Sandslott

Falsterbo, Sweden. The old nightclub situated next to a beach was burned to the ground and a competition for a new one on the same location was put out.



The site is located among pines and just a small distant from the nice beach with its dunes.

We proposed this 4-Step construction-phase:
1. The bearing pillars



2. The frames for the floors are laid out.



3. Sand from the area is laid out on the frames and then the concrete is cast upon the sand with a plastic membrane between that smoothes the surface and keeps the sand in place.



4. Glass panes are inserted and is now reflecting the surrounding trees.


1. Dancefloor 2. Foyer 3. Restaurant 4. Bar 5. Wardrobe 6. Ramp 7. Toilets
8. Kitchen 9. Logé 10. Logé 11. Scene 12. V.I.P.

Club Sky High

Located in the downtown of Monterrey, this club will be the leading club and event arena in the city.
You drive your car up on the roof, where a very thin watersurface is, its like you are parking on an ocean, the water is subtly lit up as well.
A feature with this club that will make it stand out from all the others, is the VIP-rooms, that functions as warm-air, balloons.
You can rent a room for some hours and have your private party while floating in the air with a spectacular view of the city and the surrounding mountains.

Robot Rock

Örebro is a small city in Sweden with a nice city centre, with the old castle surrounded by a small river being the icon of this area, but it’s relatively dull and has a lot of unused potential.
We proposed two robotic sculptures that take care of two neglected places. A tall and energetic sculpture at a renewed square that activates the place with sounds, lights and so on.
A more tranquil sculpture is placed in the water inside a new pool so the people can swim in the river without being taken away by the strong currents. This calm contemplating place will contrast sharply to the more bustling square.

Digital Office For Some Evil Dudes

A second prize in a competition in mexico that later was transformed into the digital office for a secret society.
The building is complex in its structure and in the way the people move around in it.
By doing this, the building gives the workers in it a feeling of being special and chosen.
The scale shifts dramatically, from big imposing grandeur to more intimate places, but with the same character kept between the switches to not lose the ambiance.

Payam Palace

The client lives in a former garden shed that lies between two apartment buildings on a very narrow plot.
Mostly theese apartments is filled with students, because very close lies a very important university.
This means that a lot of young ladies lives here.

The client wanted to take advantage of this and a suggestion is to clad the entire shed with mirrors so the ladies will look more at this house, while the client zips a beer on a chair in front of his newly pimped house.
With a better view this time.

Helsingborg Library

This library is linked to a new station that will function as a centre for a new district that will be built in the coastal city of Helsingborg, Sweden.
Due to the strategic site, a blank space between two segregated areas, this building has to be something special.

The plan is quite simple; a big, shining craterlike excavation in the centre of the floor plan will be where most of the books are, stacked in transparent bookshelves.
From here you can also access to the visual media room where you can play video games, listen to lectures, look at exhibitions and so on.

Around the crater is also some bookshelves and such, but this area is mostly designated for listening to music, reading fast-food literature, comics, newspapers.

A mighty chunk of forest in the north of the building makes up a dramatic backdrop for the whole library. As you enter from the north, you have to pass this in a Hans and Gretel kind of way, a transformation to imagination.

Mesh pathways leaps out in this forest from the second floor and from the roof terrace.
Secluded spaces in the treetops where you can get lost in a book, maybe Moby Dick?
The pathways connect to the building on the other side of the road.
A gigantic botanic garden can be reached from here as well.
Cocoons of strengthen opaque rubber penetrates the roof to light up the interior, and to make interesting places on the roof to hang out.
When the weather and season permits, the whole roof functions as a outdoor cinema, or a concert scene.

If you enter the library from the south, the forest will be most present, but if you enter from the north, the cocoons and the white light will be the dominating factor.
A kind of high-tech vs. nature, tradition vs. exploration.
