25 years of architecture for living cities.
Since 2001 we’ve given the city’s places and technical systems an architecture that lasts.
Urban Design is a Stockholm-based architecture studio with unusual breadth — we design housing, workplaces, public spaces and districts, yet are equally known for giving power plants, pumping stations and substations real architectural form. Where others hide the technology, we make it architecture.
Living cities are built through versatility, innovation, experience and endurance. That conviction has carried us through 25 years.
