Kjellander Sjöberg is a creative team of energetic, curious, and highly skilled professionals who maintain a diverse international practice with combined workshops and studios in Stockholm, Malmö, and London. We take a responsive and collaborative approach based on co-creation and open dialogue, dedicated to making the physical world around us a better place which is sustainable in the long-term for everyone.
We are driven by developing sustainable projects that meet the challenges of climate change and make meaningful use of resources, that tell a story of everyday life, content, interaction, local neighbourhoods and society. We base all our work on a collaborative approach and dialogue, to create urban areas, buildings and landscapes that actively contribute to shaping a better future.
Every KS project tells the story of its essential elements: Life, Society, Fabric, Form, Environment
Urban Quality
KS’ architecture aims to realise all the potentials of space and form – both by reinforcing site identity and local conditions, and by discovering new connections, programme and spatial organisation within the building, block, and cityscape.
KS believes quality of life, social progress and cultural richness are largely conditioned by the character and effectiveness of the built environment. KS therefore envisions solutions that interweave public space and interaction together with durable, adaptive, and valuable physical environments.
Innovation
KS’ goal is to create work that is innovative and unexpected. KS is therefore driven by curiosity and analysis. Changes in patterns of working, living and leisure, technology integrated into the home and daily lifestyles, new demographics, regional and global forces, environmental change, and more, are both drivers of and opportunities for reimagining the world. KS is awake to all these transformations.
Sustainability
For KS environmental sustainability is a real possibility, a mind-set that applies to individual behaviour and lifestyle, to buildings, urban spaces and cities. KS believes it can be achieved by establishing a synergy between efficient use of resources, integration of nature, high-quality built environments, and rich social experience.
KS has developed an industry-leading method – KS Workbook – to ensure that sustainability and design excellence strengthen each other in every design solution. KS’s method aims to share this expertise and commitment across the team, by making complex processes more transparent, thus bringing all collaborators, including clients, into a shared dialogue.
