Mandaworks

New members joining the Stockholm office

02-04-2020

It's always a nice moment when we can announce new additions to the Mandaworks team. Over the last few weeks, we have been joined by two new designers - Lisa and Jan. Lisa - born and raised in Sweden - studied landscape architecture at Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences in Uppsala and finished her studies in 2018. Her master thesis focused on ecological sustainability and stormwater management in Parkbryggan in Ulleråker, Uppsala. During her studies, Lisa spent a semester in New Zealand, deepening her interest in how landscape architecture can contribute to creating great environments of the future. Lisa brings fresh knowledge of detail design solutions and a holistic approach to the team. Jan, originally from Magdeburg, Germany, is trained as a landscape architect and moved to Sweden in 2006. He studied at the Faculties of Landscape Architecture and Urban Planning at the University of Dresden where he graduated in 2006. He has a wide range of experience, working on projects in Germany, the Netherlands, Sweden, and elsewhere in Europe. He has experience in all project phases, from the concept sketch to the detailed plans. In his work, Jan focuses on the interaction between architecture, landscape architecture and urban development with the user in focus. We are excited to welcome both Lisa and Jan to the team and we are looking forward to working on some amazing projects together!

Over the past few months, we have been working on a proposal for a new block and surrounding public space in Gothenburg, Sweden, together with our collaborators Henning Larsen, Kanozi, Eliath and Sweco. Recently, the proposals from the parallel assignment were made public. The outcome has yet to be decided, but we are keeping our fingers crossed!
