Interior design – Sustainable interior architecture

Our interior architects create functional, durable, and attractive interiors. We carry out interior architecture design either as a separate assignment or as part of the overall design in collaboration with our architects. Together with the client and users, we select suitable surface materials, furniture solutions, and tones that improve the user experience and functionality of the premises. Interior and space design also promotes sustainability in construction.

Interior architects’ view on spatial design

As specialized designers, architects have extensive experience in creating interior and spatial solutions for various buildings. Interior architects offer insights into functional solutions in interior spaces, furnishings, color schemes, material choices, and atmosphere creation.

Our interior architects serve clients in projects of all sizes and types, from educational institutions to various business premises and work environments, including hotels, hospitals, care facilities, and housing solutions. We also ensure functional interior design solutions in particularly demanding locations, such as data centers, classified properties, and industrial sites.

Sustainable interior architecture

Considering the green transition is integral to our interior architecture services. We assist you in making responsible decisions that enhance user well-being and reduce the carbon footprint of construction. During renovations, we help you determine which furniture should be preserved, which surfaces should be dismantled, and how materials can be reused sustainably in terms of both budget and environmental impact.

We leverage Sweco’s expertise in sustainability consultancy to support the low-carbon and circular economy goals of construction, as well as material efficiency.

Interior design of learning environments

Learning environments are a significant focus of interior design at Sweco. We design indoor environments for a variety of locations, from daycare centers to comprehensive schools and upper secondary schools, as well as vocational schools and universities.

In school and community center sites, interior architecture optimizes the functionality of the premises and positively impacts user well-being. In a well-functioning environment, the layout of spaces and passageways, the flow of light, visual perspectives, and the balance between practicality and aesthetics of surface materials are all considered.

The interior architecture of learning environments is designed collaboratively with users. We engage in dialogue at different stages of the project with various stakeholders, including the client, architect, teachers, contractors, and cleaning services. We also organize multi-professional user workshops.

We support customers throughout the project, from the competition and sketch phase to the final design of loose furniture and textiles. Additionally, we assist customers in the furniture procurement process by producing ready-made procurement documents and participating in quality assessments.

Interior architecture of office buildings

The interior design of work environments begins with assessing the client’s needs and conceptualizing operations from the perspective of interior architecture. Through service design, we establish a shared vision with the client for the desired outcome, which we then begin to implement.

We provide well-founded views and options for significant changes to the general appearance of work environments, as well as for the new construction of large office projects. The design considers various functional zones of the work environments and the divisions between public and private spaces according to the client’s preferences. We emphasize the adaptability of solutions and evaluate which elements should be retained and what new acquisitions are necessary.

We collaborate closely with building technology experts in designing work environments. Often, the design of office spaces also requires the involvement of a change management professional. Sweco’s project management experts will ensure the smooth execution of the project while staying within budget.
