This project explores robotic fabrication through the lens of spolia. Inspired by both historical and contemporary examples, it uses found objects with cultural or political resonance. By examining mass, figure, and disfiguration, the artifacts are digitally studied and reassembled. These new configurations generate precise instructions for a 6-axis robot, guiding how the objects are altered and how new structures are formed between them. The result is a form of spolia expressed as abstracted lines derived from plan and section drawings. A further development of the project involved an investigation of the physical model itself, examining various methods of turning a building or structure inside out, thereby challenging conventional spatial boundaries and material readings

The project builds on the remaining foundation and wall of the former Nedre Ateljén, complementing existing pavilions along Karlavägen. The new structure is designed to accommodate final critiques, graduation weeks, and exhibitions for 20 students, critics, and visitors. Existing elements are stabilized and integrated. The focus is on tectonics, ornamentation, and transformation, emphasizing the articulation of building components and their intersections.

Development of a New Urban District in Lövholmen, Stockholm. This project investigates the conditions for a city that supports a full life course. Its objective is to apply the core principles of urban form across spatial, social, ecological, technical, and economic dimensions. The project integrates technical systems with aesthetic and experiential qualities, informed by comparative analyses of international urban development and their relation to the Swedish planning framework.

Architecture project Aedícula is a holiday home that emphasizes flexible spatial organization and modest living. Inspired by Charles Moore’s Aedícula, the four-column concept informs the house’s open and layered interior, creating a sense of discovery and spatial complexity. 
The house is nestled in a forested ridge, partially on a rock outcrop that integrates with the design, forming natural outdoor living spaces. South- and southwest-facing openings maximize light, while the north side is more enclosed. The structure is timber with ventilated ground, wood cladding, and painted galvanized steel roofing. Minimal landscaping preserves the natural terrain.

The project proposes an adaptable market hall for Skeppsbron that combines efficient logistics, flexible spatial systems, and seasonal transformation to strengthen one of Stockholm’s key public waterfronts. Organized around a central trading hall, the design combines permanent structures with temporary and seasonal elements, supported by a clear logistics strategy for efficient flows of goods and visitors. Character and Atmosphere: The market draws on the lively, transient nature of marketplaces worldwide—places shaped by human interaction, craftsmanship, and the ongoing movement of food and goods. This energy informs both the spatial experience and the architectural approach. Seasonal Adaptation: Designed to shift with the seasons, the market contracts to a sheltered core in winter and expands outward in summer, extending activities onto the quay. Its adaptability reinforces Skeppsbron as a vibrant public interface that celebrates urban life and food culture.

Architecture Project: Forming Nature is inspired by natural form. This project develops a pavilion model inspired by natural objects, exploring composition, geometry, and scale. Spatial qualities and sequences are examined in detail to inform the design of an exhibition space for student presentations. The process moves from two-dimensional studies, where the crystal is treated as “dissolved,” to three-dimensional models translating randomness into structured forms. Photographic studies against white backgrounds and light tables reveal contrasting spatial effects and material transparency.
