Centralbadet Norrköping 

2020 - Master program architecture KTH

Centralbadet, Norrköpings new public swimming and sports facility is to cater for all kinds of use and people with its over 14000 sqm internal floor space. With such an array of activities in one building, it is easy to end up with generic spaces that function for everything. This project explores how to divide and shape the spaces in the building to suit the specific activities. The activities are separated from each other but are still connected under one roof and one entrance, creating the opportunely for new connections. 

In order to strengthen the connection from the city centre, the urban plan for the site has also been re-designed. A new street and several residential buildings are introduced, creating a clearly defined entrance space for the building.

Urban homes for families? 

2019 - Internship at property developer Argent

An analyze of apartment living for families in Brent Cross South

In the spring of 2019, I did an internship at the property developer Argent, mostly known for the redevelopment of Kings Cross. Because of my previous project at Central Saint Martins, focusing on problems and solutions for family living in flats, Argent asked me to investigate their development from this perspective. 

I collated my analyses and findings into a report that I presented for the CEO of Argent as well as several Development Manager and Directors at the end of my internship. 

As part of my research, I took the initiative to hold a workshop with the Argent employees where I invited them to visit, and examen there own flat design that I had drawn in 1:1 outside their office at Coal Drop Yard, Kings Cross.

Material Cultures

2019 - MArch Central Saint Martins - Design and construction of wood and hempcrete building 

Design and construction of a 50 sqm  building in collaboration with the not-for-profit research organisation Material Cultures. 

The focus for the project was to use low carbon natural material and to create a simple prefab construction method that as much as possible, could be built by anyone without large cranes or complex machinery.  As a studio of 30 students we designed, detailed, project-managed and built the house as a flat pack at the university. The building was then later assembled by an other team on site.

Filippa K London Office 

In summer of 2018, I helped the Swedish fashion brand Filippa K to set up there new London office. I collaborated closely with their founder to achieve a suitable layout and atmosphere. Emphasis was put on creating many different kinds of workspaces, more and less formal, as well as making sure it worked for larger meetings at the office. Besides layout design, I also took on the administration part of the project, creating a budget, ordering the furniture, taking care of deliveries as well as hiring handyman, electrician etc.
