Studio

Good building leaves room.

A2 Open Studio is an architectural practice founded in 2024 by two architects who studied and worked together for over a decade before starting it. The studio works across Sweden and the Netherlands.

The work is deliberately open — architecture, interior, landscape and research, with photography and writing where they help. The projects range from a mosque competition to a bar interior to housing research, because the question underneath is the same at every scale: how a place gets used, and by whom.

Underneath the work is one principle: that good building leaves room — to change, to be used in ways the drawing did not predict, and for the people who live in it to complete it. Structure that holds, and freedom within it.

01

Open by design

Buildings change. We plan for that.

02

Few materials

Chosen carefully, allowed to age.

03

Long collaborations

We keep working with the people we build with.

04

Drawing as thinking

We draw to think — by hand and by machine.
