Krook & Tjäder is one of Sweden’s largest architectural offices, with many locations throughout the Nordics and a strong position in architecture, urban planning, landscape, interior design, and product design.
KROOK & TJÄDER
We work with a diverse range of expertise in creative processes, which results in different perspectives contributing to a cohesive and quality outcome. Our team includes architects, interior architects, landscape architects, and spatial planners.
Our strength is in the personal relationship, the warmth and openness. We work with all the city’s building blocks, from strategies within urban planning and landscaping, to the design of places, homes, commercial outlets, offices, and arenas. This means that we have a strong connection to the market’s various actors, both private and public sector, and extensive knowledge of what is realistic in execution.
At Krook & Tjäder, we have experts and certified employees and we work towards the global goals of the 2030 Agenda.
Why are you choosing to be an H22 partner?
H22 is the perfect platform for Krook & Tjäder LABS to collaborate with others on innovation at the interface between creativity, sustainability, and architecture.
In what way will your involvement contribute to the development of Helsingborg and other cities?
We want to contribute to awareness on how each individual’s small daily active choices impact how the future will unfold.
What challenges does your organisation aim to solve within the context of the H22 initiative?
Some of the challenges in Agenda 2030 are technical, others are political. A third part of the challenge is about finding completely new, inspiring, and sustainable ways of living and working with strategic innovation. We have focused on the latter. We are currently working on Global Goal 6, on clean water.
When building the cities of tomorrow, what new forms of cooperation do you think we need?
We need to formalise creative collaboration in early phases. Invest time, skills, and effort in agreeing on a clear and meaningful why, before major projects are launched. Krook & Tjäder LABS has developed a method for leading the creative process throughout the development of a brief and creative direction.
In what way can Helsingborg be used as a test bed for your organisation and innovations?
Helsingborg has an impressive and growing concentration of innovation leaders and creators who work with innovations towards a sustainable future. We hope to find synergy effects together with Helsingborg and other participants in H22, where 1 + 1 becomes 3.
