42 is a young architecture and design studio based in London, UK, established by Johan Berglund. As a practice we are driven by the belief that architecture can enhance our society through excellence in design, coupled with contextual sensibility and a strong understanding of the social, cultural and environmental needs of our times.
The architectural output is driven by inventive ideas and strong concepts. We have established a thorough research methodology within the office, which means that we are able to deal with most types of projects and contexts without a pre-determined style. However, as much as we enjoy grand ideas, we also value the small scale and the intricate, and put great emphasis on achieving high quality detailing, atmosphere and materiality, regardless of the size of project and budget. We are often part of projects from an early stage, where our competence and skills can be used to help define the scope and brief of the project, as well as help secure funding from public and corporate bodies.
We undertake work in sectors such as Arts and Culture, Commercial, Sports & Leisure, Residential and Public projects. Our experience extends from one-off, carefully crafted interior fit-outs to large public buildings and landscape projects in Sweden, UK and the middle east.
