About

Chartered Architect (ARB/RIBA) and member of Swedish Association of Architects with over ten years delivering projects across scale and typology — from bespoke private residences to 82,000 m² urban transformations, including Sergelhuset i Stockholm and exhibition architecture at the Venice Biennale. Educated at KTH’s Performative Design studio and shaped by leading Scandinavian practices, I work at the intersection of computational precision, material culture, and place identity.
As founder of Havarc Architecture, I have delivered bespoke residential commissions end-to-end — from initial concept and detailing through site supervision and construction completion. Driven by architecture that creates spaces people genuinely love, built through collaborative teams, mentorship, and mutual respect.
