Architects
Gunnar Bäckman
Gunnar Bäckman, architect 1967, Licentiate of Technology at Royal Institute of Technology (KTH), in Stockholm, municipal architect of Östersund and Krokom in the county of Jämtland. Gunnar has formed the basis of Arvesund’s design principles. In his models he has captured the barn and re-formed it to modern houses.
Based on his experience as a municipal architect Gunnar has in a number of projects shown how barn houses, backyard houses and cabins together can create a closely connected yard milieu and buildings.
Daniel Franzén
He happened to be a champion for pinewood to such a degree that some journalists wrote about him as the “pinewood man”. In his qualifying piece of work in 2004 – a fully functional 11 square meter apartment, about which a great deal was written – he made all surfaces white (such a small area had to be kept unembellished) – except the ceiling and walls of the sleeping-loft that were covered with sheets of pine veneer.
Anders Landström
Anders Landström has grown up in the north of Sweden and has a passion for wood. That’s important to know. It’s a material that he has taken, and still takes, a special interest in. Today wood is of great immediate interest, not only as building material but also as a visible surface on furnishing.
Anders Landström’s passion for wood has even deeper roots. In 1996 he was awarded The Timber Prize for Anders Zorn’s textile chamber in Mora (an architectural prize, instituted by the Swedish Forest Industries Federation).
In 1997 he was elected to the Royal Academy of Fine Arts, and is since 1998 adjunct professor of wood architecture at Lund University.
