01 Urban Space Design proposal for Cigarren Jönköping Software: Revit, Lumion & Photoshop Urban Space Spring 2022

Site Analysis Cigarren - Jönköping The site analysis is based on analyses of the area Cigarren, located on Östra Storgatan in Jönköping.

Depending on its location, there are some obvious issues in the area, such as a lack of crosswalks, traffic structure, narrow sidewalks, some dead spaces, and unnecessary parking spots

Design Proposal The proposal for the Cigarren area is based on the site analyses that reveal the problems within the area. Gehl's space analysis and urban studies had the greatest impact on the solutions for the area.

Improvements The main improvement in the area is the waterfront promenade, which previously was a large urban void due to the railway track. The railway track has been relocated south of Munksjön, and instead, the waterfront promenade has become a large recreational area for the public to enjoy with the beautiful view of Lake Vättern.

Improvements have been made to the inner courtyards by adding more seating areas and green spaces. The same approach has been applied to the other urban voids throughout the area. The streets in the Cigarren area have been altered by removing some of the parking spaces, narrowing the roads for cars, and clarifying the pedestrian and cycling paths.

02 Skeppsbron Munksjöstaden - Jönköping Software: Revit, Lumion, Photoshop & Enscape Residential Planning Fall 2021 The project is inspired by the harmony between natural materials, such as light wood and greenery. The architecture and design focus on creating ample natural light and capturing the fantastic views of Lake Munksjön

Description The building is planned as a 10story structure with larger apartments, penthouses, and rooftop terraces. It follows the definition of a Swedish high-rise or tower house with a single entrance to the central elevator and staircase, which is planned with a lock to the garage and courtyard from the ground floor.

The layout entails a minimum of four apartments per floor with a balanced mix of 2-bedroom, 3bedroom, and 4-bedroom units. On the ground floor, a guest apartment with 1 bedroom is being constructed.

The ground floor will be planned with mixed-use areas for both storage and commercial purposes.

03 Panncentralen Munksjönstaden - Jönköping Software: Revit, Lumion, Photoshop & Enscape Renovation fall 2021

Building Description Building 37, constructed in 1948 as a supplementary structure to the production facility, holds significant cultural heritage value. It is one of the more monumental buildings on the site, characterized by impressive pilasters protruding from the masonry and extending upwards. The building is intended to utilize leftover materials from production and is part of a series of structures constructed during the peak production period in the mid-20th century.

Concept With a focus on honoring the history of the boiler house, the periodappropriate facade will be central on the lower level. By then contrasting with an extension covered in black metal cladding, the building achieves a modern and luxurious appearance.

Adding greenery to the warmer facade provides a slightly cooler look, creating a harmonious balance.

In close proximity to the suite, there are two simpler double rooms and one single room. Additionally, there is a smaller suite of about 32 m2. Over 10% of the hotel rooms are accessible for persons with disabilities, and approximately 10% of the rooms are single rooms.

Design Concept The building's design was planned with optional features for the floors and spaces. On the first entrance level, the area is more open for interaction and creativity for students. A large space for social activities is available on the first floor, delivering daylight and activity through the large skylights. The design is highly transparent with a glazed entrance providing a glimpse into indoor activities and making the building inviting for visitors.

The office floors are planned similarly for a calm environment but with an open and airy feel.

This allows for both formal and informal meetings and breaks. The floors are on a different level than the main staircase, so that students and visitors are not confused entering the workspace and are more separated from the noise level of the students.

Playful design creates a quiet and private environment on the school's second floor.

The organic shapes provide a playful and creative atmosphere throughout the building and also help to soundproof the various rooms, as flat surfaces tend to create echoes. The second floor, designated for the school, offers more private space for learning and education to foster a calm and quiet environment. The glazed courtyard provides an open and airy feel on the floor, relating to a bridge for interaction. The floor is accessible via two elevators and a large staircase

Build a school Zambia - Afrika The Build a School project has been initiated by the Zambian non-governmental organization Children in Crisis with the goal of increasing access to fair and sustainable education by constructing a boarding school in Chirundu, Zambia. The school will be built on a four-hectare land donated by local communities who wish to provide their children with a better future. Many children in the area lack access to education due to the distance to the few government schools available, which can sometimes be up to 10 km away. The project is being carried out in collaboration between non-profit organizations such as Architects Without Borders in Sweden and Children in Crisis in Zambia. The main task in this project has been to develop a design and visualization proposal in collaboration with Architects Without Borders.
