Residential architecture from a sustainability perspective

Home is the hub of everyday life, a place where we should feel safe, comfortable, and have space for a large part of life’s needs. A residential building that is designed and constructed today is shaped by our contemporary perception of housing – a marker of our own time. From a sustainable perspective, the residence should be able to evolve and transform with time along with the people who choose to live there.

Focus on economic and ecological sustainability

At Sweco, social, economic, and ecological sustainability always takes centre stage. Based on research, we create beautiful and sustainable homes where people are the focus. Studies reveal that your residence has a significant impact on your health and well-being. Through the use of daylighting, beautiful rooms, generous spatial connections, and well-thought-out social spaces, our homes contribute to well-being by providing space for both rest and activity.

Residential architect for large areas as well as small houses and villas

Sweco’s architects have experience in different types of housing in all stages, from large urban development projects to detailed design of multi-family residences as well as small houses, and even housing that includes space for trade and commercial premises. For us, it’s not just what’s inside the walls that matter – the residential building is a dominant expression of the city’s form and identity. They contribute to the overall cityscape, so it is important that the environment is connected to the city or landscape in terms of volume and material selection through facades, entrances, and roofs.

We make a real effort and have high goals when we participate in creating future secure, sustainable, and comfortable homes.
