Brief description

Petra Gipp Arkitektur AB sets out to create architectures in thoughtful relationship to the needs of an individual client as well as to the specific characteristics of a site. In order to achieve an architectural whole, we find that in depth studies of flows as well as of spatial and structural relationships are essential. In each individual project, everything down to the design of details and the choice of materials relate back to a main concept.

In order to achieve an architectonic design solution which is both economical and sustainable, every project is developed in close dialogue with the client as well as with builders and suppliers.

The aspiration of our practice is to create buildings that relate to their immediate conditions through their simple and distinctly articulated spaces. Without compromising matters of functionality and logistics, the issues relevant to each project are addressed in accordance with the main concept which shapes the expression of materials and defines the scale and proportions of the architecture. A quality building has a longer life and it encourages its caretakers to manage it with pride.
