Established in Stockhom in 2009, Petra Gipp Arkitektur strives to create architectural work that is sculptural, functional as well as sustainably responsible. Studio director Petra Gipp aims to ‘thoughtfully interpret both the needs of an individual client and the specific characteristics of a site’. At the same time, she believes that the essence of any project lies in the design of its details and choice of materials, while adhering to a specific overall concept. Recent works include The Stupet villa, completed in 2013, and The Cathedral, an inventor's workshop for audiovisual design based in Linköping, Sweden.
