Every KS project tells the story of its essential elements: Life, Society, Fabric, Form, Environment.

Circular approach and material reuse

The transformation of Gjuteriet in Malmö, designed by Kjellander Sjöberg for Varvsstaden, has been completed. Focused on the intensive re-use of repurposed materials, the project demonstrates how existing buildings can be reimagined based on circular principles. Formerly a ruin, the distinctive building has been given a vibrant new life as an active and social new urban place telling a multifaceted story about the port’s rich maritime heritage.

The pavilion is composed of 276 cross-laminated timber units which had been industrially produced in northern Sweden and assembled on site. The logistics and constraints of the building material dictated the pavilion’s structural composition and focused the inception of the design process.Photo @adammork
The Forests of VeniceA part of the experience being in a forest is the dappled light from above, filtered by branches and leaves. We wanted to recreate this effect in the timber pavilion made for the Venice Biennale in 2016.Photo @adammork
Exhibition at La Biennale di VeneziaThe exhibition investigates Venice´s success as a hybrid between city and nature. As a geographically exposed coastal city, Venice historically demonstrates a unique symbiosis with nature and resources. In a time when climate change and rising sea levels threaten coastal regions worldwide, the origin and strategies of Venice are a key resource for urban solutions. The exhibition, initiated by KS, focuses on the possibilities of wood as a renewable material.Photo @adammork

Tile House Distinct detailsThe apartments are thoughtfully designed, using carefully selected, high-quality materials in natural colours with an emphasis on everyday life and industrial references. The large floor-to-ceiling windows bring plenty of daylight inside; and the Juliet balconies, balconies, private patios and terraces provide more space.The project is a result of a close collaborative process between the developer Fokus Nordic, Stockholm City Council and Kjellander Sjöberg; from the idea and planning phases through to completion, including interior design of all private and communal areas.
