Sustainability—More Than Just Reuse

December 28, 2024

We’re so happy that so many of you joined us for our breakfast seminar on sustainability and its many complexities! The theme, “Sustainability—More Than Just Reuse,” sparked rich conversations, new perspectives, and innovative ideas.

A huge thank you to everyone who started their day early with us, and a special shout-out to our incredible panel, who brought such depth and inspiration to the discussion:

Torleif Falk, City Architect for Stockholms stad, shared his vision of how urban planning can drive sustainability, emphasizing the importance of long-term thinking in creating resilient and inclusive cities.

Saga Wennberg Jernberg Head of Sustainability at Atrium Ljungberg, brought valuable insights on how to integrate sustainability into business strategies while maintaining a balance between environmental goals and commercial viability.

Johan Jönsson, Material Expert, offered a fascinating perspective on what makes materials truly sustainable, highlighting the importance of lifecycle assessments and innovative reuse practices.

Mustafa Sherif, Urban Planner at AFRY passionately advocated for designing cities that are not only sustainable but also inclusive and socially vibrant, with a focus on equity and accessibility.

With expert moderation by Vanna Gunnarsson, the panel delved into the challenges and opportunities of creating sustainable detailed plans, selecting durable and eco-friendly materials, and fostering urban spaces that are economically viable and alive with possibility.

We were also inspired by thought-provoking presentations from Carl Rössner and Karolina Nyström from Studio Stockholm Arkitektur who shared their experiences from two of our exciting projects:

The innovative concept and interior design for Jernhusen ABs headquarter, where 92% of the furniture is reused, setting a benchmark for circular solutions.

The transformation of Natur & Kulturs historic property near Humlegården, designed by Sven Markelius, where we combined our roles as both building and interior architects to honor the past while building for the future.

In this ongoing dialogue about sustainability, we reflected on the importance of creating environments that endure over time and age with dignity. Building for the future is about more than materials—it’s about designing spaces that promote well-being, inclusion, and adaptability.

Thank you to everyone who attended—it’s the conversations during coffee breaks that spark synergies, foster shared knowledge, and plant the seeds for groundbreaking collaborations.

Let’s keep building a sustainable future together!
