Statement of Purpose
Why there are cities in the world you love from the first time you are visiting and why in some cases living in the same city for years doesn’t make you feel home at all? As if one inhabit the wrong house can be damaging in a physical och psychological way the same applies for the cities because they are our reality, our everyday life.
These questions had been addressed in recent years and they are becoming more and more important as the technology, politics, and the social construction around us is evolving. I believe that through design the professio-nals can reflect those chang-es into our everyday environ-ment and I want to be a part of this quest.
Throughout my professional training I’ve been able to achieve knowledge and abili-ties in the field of architectu-re, spatial planning, urban built environment, visual cul-ture and communication. The Master program in Sustaina-ble Urban Design would give me the knowledge to work with excisting resources and transform city environments in the most efficient way.

VILLA PHOENIX
Frame
This house is a private project on a lot at Bejersparksgatan in Malmö, Sweden. The program followed is to design a house for a single parent of two. The neig-hbourhood’s typology resembles suburban village with houses of a same, box-shaped and two-slo-ped-roof small houses with cour-tyards. The lot is plane and with no significant vegetation. A row with parking spots on North is present but with no importance at all as there is a lot of space elsewhere. The more so as they are on a private land the spots will be removed.
Design concept
At the core of this project is the idea of creating a nest, a com-fortable shell, shaped by the two children. As an inspiring example from the nature is found the wal-nut shell, shaped from the inside by the nut.
The planning of the spaces is subordinate to the following conditions: evolving, flexibility and freedom of movement. With those in focus the spaces are organized so that the transition between the spaces is gradual
and include “in-between” spaces. The house is meant to change in reflection to the changes of the owners life situation: as the children grow their needs change and therefore their spa-ces will open wider with time.

Environmental shiftings
Transition between pravite and shared pre-misses is happening gradually. The shared premissesare are closer to the ground level. As the children grow older they will need to separate their private live from the parent. The rooftop together with the kids’ room can then play a role of a house in the house. If the owners wish, the rooftop terrace can be co-
vered with translucent cover and in that way the space can be used year round as well as the private space grows wider. The terrace is intended to be used as a transitioning room between indoor and outdoor taking advanta-ge of the privacy provide by the hight. The transition between indoor and outdoor spaces also occurs gradually with the help of flexible edges and multifunctional furniture and surfaces. example for that are window edges used for sitting and the fireplace.
The fireplace can be fired both from the inside and from the outside and it serves several functions: to warm the house, to be used as a grill (from the outside) and for sitting and chatting (in the livig room. The kitchen is at lowest level because in that way it has a natural connection to the small herbal garden and the patio.
The connection between indoor and
outdoor is positivly drawn with the help of visual axes. One of the most important is the one along the B section as it provi-ides with view to Bejers-park. On the other side the view provides visual access to the backyard with the basketball ter-rain. To enhance the role of this axis I designed a sitting places by the big round window in the kids’ room at the windows in the living room

VILLA PHOENIXMateriality
The main materials used in this project are wood - to create cozi-ness and comfort, concrete - as a fluid material it can form orga-nic shapes and translucent ma-terials like polycarbonate panels to shelter outdoor comfortable microclimates and to create a nice ambient and diffused light.
Parametric concrete: allows creation of organic forms
”Perforated” concrete: allows merging with organic species.

The space outside
The main entrance is chosen to be on North at Åkerögatan because it is one level more private than the other three open sides of the lot. The decision automatically creates the opportunity to meet the neighbours more often and to encourage social interaction. The East side of the lot is

lifted a bit and trees will be planted to create a visual barrier and to orien-tate the children s play towards the house. At west there is a car gate for bigger social events where the guest can park their cars. Otherwise the space can be used for sport training, for example basketball.
The fence around the house is supposed to let sun light and at the same time to protect from the intence car traffic. On North.East it will let the sun light out to sustain a small flowering gardens between the sidewalk and the fence.

Site morphology
The existing urban tissue fall in with the aim of my planning to take advantage of the sun posi-tion and the of use the courtyard in most efficient way. Therefore, the position the house aligns with the others closer to Åkerö-gatan on North. From there I in-tend to create conditions for site limits which preserve the privacy of the family but in a way that it doesn’t enclose it in a defensi-ve way. A gentle edge between the neighbourhood and the site would enable sound personal connections.
Important connections in a lar-ger scale are the links between the house and the library, the park and the bus stops along Musketörgatan and Bejersparks-gatan.

ITriangeln. A project for the City Planning Office in Malmö, Sweden.
The task was to present a vision for a new project for renewing the area around one of the most im-portant stations in Malmö, namely Triangeln. As existing the empty area used now for a bike parking
will be replaced by a mix-use building following the program of the city development.
The image is used when communicate with the potential designers of the new building.
The request for this task was to accent on the mood and diversity of the place without focusing on the facade of the building to avoid interference with the entry ideas. Following
that I worked with possible activities like climbing on terraces, shoping, drinking cof-fee, going to dance studio etc. An important contribution to the concept from my side was to identify the potential of the passage between the new building and the school (at left).
Tools used: DiSLR camera, SketchUp, V-ray, Photoshop. The site, as existing.

Lindängen. A project for the City Planning Office in Malmö, Sweden.
For this project I made an illustra-tion of a vision for a mixed-use environment in connection with a kindergarden. The new buildings which will appear are the building
on the left, nowadays a parking lot, and an extension of the kindergarden which will be used for a shcool with older children. The request was, in alignment with the program of the city, to imagine a kindergarden without fence..
My personal contribution to the concept was to
identify the need to change the bicycle path with the sidewalk to encrease the movement speed gradually and to protect the children from the bicycles. Further more I was granted a comple-te freedom to visualize the landscape. I decided to work with sitting places, groundcovers, small ponds to separate the different rooms and the renewing of the kindergarden’s courtyard. The site, as existing.
