Utopia Arkitekter

Utopia Arkitekter is a Stockholm-based practice working mainly on urban planning and housing, from city blocks to pavilions and public interiors. Founded by Mattias Litström together with Emma Jonsteg, the studio set out to maximise the occasions on which an architect can take an active part in building a better society, judging its work by the long-term values a good plan and building can create.

Projects such as Juvelen in Uppsala, Rosendalsfältet, Teknikringen on the KTH campus and VYN in Nacka show a preference for varied, generous housing over uniform blocks. The office works collectively, aiming high from the start and scaling the dream solution to fit the budget rather than compromising early, and publishes explicit goals on environmental impact and gender balance.
