Arkitema Living

We are placing ever greater demands towards the places in which we live. Our homes are a central part of our identity, and must provide a meaningful background to our lives – depending on our time of life, our financial situation and our personal dreams and desires.
The quality of the surroundings is a vital factor when decisions are made concerning moving home and settling in new areas. Do we favour the attractive power of the cities, or the charm of small towns, beautiful natural surroundings, etc.?

Architecture and context

We develop our housing complexes in a close collaboration between our construction departments and our landscape department, so that at an early stage in the process, we can already consider the interplay between the various architectural dimensions: the relationship of buildings to their surroundings, the development as a whole, and the individual home and its outdoor areas.

For us, architectural quality means more than just the aesthetics of the individual building and its outward appearance. Our aim is to design housing which will create value and meaning for both the residents, the surrounding society and the client. Or to put it another way, we aim to secure a meaningful interplay between the development and its surroundings. Inwardly, the buildings should provide a backdrop to the intimate private and social life in the development. Outwardly, the development must relate to and create value for the surrounding society.

Experienced housing designers

Arkitema has more than 35 years of experience in housing design. We have a reputation as not only skilled builders of housing, but also as innovators in the housing area. Amongst other things, we have a long tradition of participating in competitions and in experimental and developmental construction projects focusing on, for example, the development and rationalisation of the construction process, partnership and co-operation, or living qualities and sustainability.

We make our expertise available at all levels in the development of housing projects, and can guarantee inspirational teamwork with both the client and the other players in the construction process.
