Tower Architecture

Last summer me and my friend and collegue Svante Karlsson worked on our master thesis projects in architecture in the tower-shaped attic of my house in the middle of Malmö. See our work as it progressed during the summer on our blog Digital Hybris.

Hipp

The lamp is named Hipp after the theatre in Malmö it was made for. It is designed to serve the specific needs of the space. Because of the extreme ceiling hight fixed pendal lamps would strongly limit the use of the space, it would be to hard to adjust them. But I still wanted an intimate atmosphere around the tables, and came up with the idea of wall mounted pendel lamps that could be adjusted in all directions. And since it proved to be impossible to find such lamps on the market to an acceptable price, I instead had them made.The staff is apparently very pleased with the outcome and the lamp is actually used as intended. They do adjust the hight and length every day. The next step is to start producing them myself, and of course improve the design a bit as some minor adjustments has to be made. This is actually a prototype.

Candlestick aka Husstake

This candelestick house was designed and made just for fun. I had ideas about producing and selling them myself but other more important stuff got in the way. Maybe I will pick it up some day, I still think the idea and design is good.

The Revolution will not be Architecturalized...

Never done a comic before but it was fun! Made for a theory course at Lund School of Architecture.

Submarine photoshop

This is how it works... It dives when you remove a plug from the pipe that leads to the inside water tank, taking in water from a small hole in the bottom front.

Submarine reparation

Submarine I made two years ago in the schools workshop. A Christmas gift for my nephew. The problem was that it was too complicated for the amount of time I had to make it, so the water intake mechanism failed and the wood cracked directly after its maiden voyage in the bathtub. But now I'm fixing it! Only got the painting left.

Future sculpture maybe? Having fun with the boolean tool in rhino...

Old stuff...

Two really old projects from the beginning of architecture school.

Left: A future pavilion for Small House by SANAA when it hypothetically is turned into a museum. Because of the extremely small lot the house is standing on, the street is instead used for the pavilion. Its functions is split into three "kiosks" and squeezed in between the buildings on the short narrow street leading up to the Small House.

Right: A not that successful prototype of a chair I handmade in the schools metal workshop. Surprisingly comfortable though. Can think of many ways of improving it... The time we had for the design process was ridiculously short, but a friend of mine made an innovative chair that won a price in the same time, so who am I to complain.

Project: Torekov

 

Torekov is a small village 100 km north of Malmö where rich people are paying ridiculous amounts of money for small old fisherman's houses. But even they deserve a community hall of some kind and my group partner Svante and I designed a building that would take care of all the existing qualities that where already in place.

We basicly made a classic architectural promenade, always open for the public, with a viewpoint half way up and a roof terrace on the top. The rooms connected to the promenade, a restaurant, exhibition hall and auditory, is dependent and influenced of the promenade in their design.

An even smaller article...

Rätten till Malmö.pdf

A small article I mostly wrote myself about different ways of appropriation in Malmö by different individuals and organisations. With Lefebvre as the ghost behind it of course. It was supposed to be a group work, but you know, not everyone likes to write...
