Home is more than just a place—it’s the heart of everyday life, where we should feel safe, comfortable and supported in meeting life’s needs. Residential buildings designed today reflect our modern understanding of housing and should stand as adaptable markers of their time. Research highlights the profound impact of where you live on your health and wellbeing. That’s why we design homes that embrace natural light, beautiful spaces and thoughtful layouts, creating environments that support both rest and activity. At Sweco, our architects bring passion and expertise to every project, from urban developments to small houses. Their work extends beyond designing structures—it’s about seamlessly integrating homes into their natural and urban surroundings, ensuring they contribute positively to their environment and community.

Urban development isn’t just about construction—it’s about creating environments where people can live, work and connect while addressing pressing challenges like climate change. By balancing respect for history with forward-thinking innovation, urban planning shapes spaces that are inclusive, sustainable and resilient. Whether it’s reimagining how cities manage resources, integrating green spaces into urban centres or designing for diverse needs, sustainable development is key. Urban projects today are embracing renewable energy, reducing emissions and promoting biodiversity to meet global climate goals. Sweco’s approach combines architectural and engineering expertise with advanced digital tools, enabling transparent planning and effective collaboration. By focusing on long-term solutions and supporting responsible decision-making, we’re helping communities adapt to urbanisation, climate change and the opportunities of a circular economy. 🔗 Learn more about our approach and solutions here: https://lnkd.in/dN-NiDbC #SwecoGroup #TransformingSocietyTogether

Sweco has been awarded contracts to provide architecture and engineering services for two major hospital projects in Germany. The projects include building a new parent-child medical care centre at the University Medical Center Göttingen and expanding and refurbishing the Martha-Maria Hospital in Nuremberg. These wins are further proof of Sweco's expertise in designing and optimising healthcare facilities. “We look forward to supporting our clients in creating state-of-the-art medical facilities with modern and innovative architectural solutions. Sweco’s team brings extensive experience in planning, designing and managing healthcare construction projects to meet the highest standards,” says Julia Zantke, Business Area President for Sweco in Germany. Founded in 1732, the University Medical Center Göttingen (UMG) is one of Germany’s largest university hospitals, comprising more than 1,600 beds and 40 specialist clinical departments. As part of its redevelopment strategy, UMG is constructing a parent-child centre to enable future-oriented medical care for mother and child. In 2024, the Martha-Maria Hospital in Nuremberg and St. Theresienkrankenhaus, two teaching hospitals of Friedrich-Alexander University Erlangen-Nuremberg, merged to enhance their healthcare services. This requires a major redevelopment and expansion of the Martha-Maria site, consolidating all inpatient units into a modern facility with 470 beds.

Regenerative design can increase urban green-blue areas in European cities by 42 percent. A new report by Sweco highlights the potential of 22 European cities to enhance liveability, sustainability, and resilience through regenerative design in the built environment. By adopting the principles of regenerative design, these cities can increase the size of their green-blue areas by 42 percent – and align with the new EU nature restoration law related to urban ecosystems.   Sweco's experts have identified nine key elements of regenerative neighbourhoods.   Read more: https://lnkd.in/d4p5bdnq

As the global population ages, the need for thoughtful, inclusive design is more critical than ever. By 2050, nearly a quarter of the world is expected to be aged 60 or older and the built environment must evolve to meet this demographic shift. At Sweco, we’re actively involved in creating spaces that foster intergenerational connections, sustainability and community engagement. Two of our Danish projects exemplify this vision: ➡️ Gauerslund Community Centre integrates a nursing home and daycare into a single vibrant hub. This innovative design promotes daily interactions across generations with shared activity spaces, outdoor playfields and even a mini zoo. Aligned with the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals, it’s a shining example of inclusive, eco-conscious public architecture. ➡️ The House of Generations redefines urban living in Aarhus Docklands. By combining homes for youth, families and seniors with community spaces like cafes and daycare, it encourages meaningful connections across age groups while meeting diverse residential needs.

How can we honour the past while designing for the future? At Sweco, we believe transformation is the key. By reimagining historic buildings, we breathe new life into cultural landmarks, ensuring they remain functional and relevant for generations to come. Transforming historic spaces is about more than preservation—it's about crafting a narrative that connects the past with the present. Our approach blends architectural expertise, sustainability and innovative design to revitalise these sites, striking a delicate balance between heritage and modern functionality. “We aim to create an identity that draws inspiration from its past. You have to respect the building's history and key qualities and use them to activate a potential that brings the story to life,” says Bjørn Mogensen, Market Manager and Creative Leader, Transformation & Renovation at Sweco Denmark.

I går mødte vores 2.000 medarbejdere fire af vores kunder. Det gjorde de, da ledelsen i et fyldt atrium og streamet live rettede blikket mod kunderne og åbnede dialogen om den gode kunderelation. Inspireret af kundernes gode og ærlige feedback til os - bragt som videoindslag undervejs - diskuterede vi, hvordan vi kan forbedre os, og hvad kunderne forventer af os. Ud over værdifuldt input og en god og åben dialog, var det fantastisk at slutte ugen af med at være samlet på tværs af hele Sweco Danmark om et vigtigt emne. Rigtig god weekend! #TransformingSocietyTogether #dk

A delegation from Sweco will take part in the Rebuild Ukraine international exhibition and conference this month in Warsaw. The conference is a platform for recovery projects, materials, technologies, equipment and investments required to rebuild Ukraine’s war-torn economy with an emphasis on infrastructure, industry, energy and housing. With a portfolio that encompasses more than 70 projects, Sweco has continuously performed engineering assignments in the energy, industry, water and wastewater sectors in Ukraine over the past 30 years. This work spans district heating, building energy efficiency, residential housing and wastewater treatment, among other areas. Over the years, Sweco has developed a strong track record of successful partnerships with bilateral and multilateral donors and development banks in Ukraine, alongside a well-established network of local partners nationwide. “At Sweco, we are proud and grateful to support the rebuilding efforts in Ukraine across such vital areas as energy, water, construction, and environmental solutions. This work also presents an important opportunity to build sustainably, contributing to Ukraine’s green transition and helping create a resilient, future-ready infrastructure," says Martina Söderström, President of Sweco International.

Did COP16 make real progress on biodiversity? Andreas Gyllenhammar, Chief Sustainability Officer at Sweco, has attended the negotiations in Cali, Colombia, and offers an in-depth analysis of the outcome. Here are the main takeaways: ➡ Inclusion of indigenous people. The decision to establish a permanent subsidiary body to represent indigenous interests under the Convention is seen as a major win by indigenous groups and local communities. ➡ Benefit-sharing from genetic resources. The Cali Fund was established for the fair and equitable sharing of the benefits derived from the use of digital sequence information (DSI) on genetic sources. ➡ Funding shortfalls. Negotiations stalled over the creation of a new global nature fund. Disagreements persisted regarding the governance and mobilisation of financial resources necessary to meet biodiversity targets. ➡ Unresolved monitoring framework. Delegates failed to agree on a comprehensive monitoring framework to assess progress toward biodiversity goals.
