ARKLAB

Arklab was founded in 2004 and is run by Mats Karlsson, Tomas Lauri, Alexander Marek and Jan Perrin. Since the beginning, the practice has focused on creating innovative, precise and playful architecture. We view every single project as unique and approach it on the basis of its particular conditions. The key is to identify the effective elements in each project to bring form and material together in a way that interacts and challenges. We work closely with our clients to achieve ecologically sustainable solutions and generate economic benefits. Our goal is to create projects that enhance and transform their surroundings. From the outset, we have seen an added value in being able to manage to projects from A to Z. And we have the competence to do so. Addressing complex situations, seeing a project through, from the political groundwork over funding and design-intensive stages to construction details. Architecture that interprets its surroundings in form and material with sensitivity and insight is architecture with staying power.
