Studio Land

What Studio Land does

Studio Land is an independent Swedish landscape architecture practice operating under Studio Land Arkitektur Sverige AB (org. 559196-7079), with headquarters in Borghamn and operational offices in Vadstena, Uppsala, and Trelleborg. Founded and owned by landscape architects Erik Alm (LAR/MSA) and Emelie Arnoldsson (LAR/MSA), the firm employs six people and delivers landscape architecture, urban planning, and property development services to municipal and regional government clients across Sweden. Documented engagements include public-square redesigns (Z-Torget Leksand, Hospitalstorget Linköping, Torget Leksand, Anna Lindhs Plats Uppsala), a themed adventure playground (Riddarlekparken), and a multi-year station-area development plan for Uppsala C in partnership with C.F. Møller and WSP Sverige AB. Two projects have received industry nominations (Stenpriset 2016, Östergötlands arkitekturpris 2018).

The firm runs a project-based professional services revenue model, with services spanning early-stage assessments, consultations, concept design, masterplans, detailed planning, project management, and onsite follow-up. Delivery occurs both as primary consultant/general consultant to municipalities and as sub-consultant to larger architectural firms, enabling participation in projects well beyond the firm's headcount. Studio Land's operating model is explicitly digital-first and geographically unrestricted, with the firm stating that physical office location is not a hiring constraint and that the team prioritizes competence and engagement over geography; the stated intent is to collaborate nationally and internationally.

The go-to-market is sales-led and relationship-driven, with no formal marketing channels and acquisition relying on referrals, professional reputation, and prior municipal relationships. Customer concentration is high, with Leksands Kommun, Linköpings Kommun, Uppsala Kommun, and Region Uppsala accounting for all disclosed major engagements; pricing is per-project with no publicly disclosed rates.

Broad incumbents

• Tengbom: One of Sweden's largest architecture practices with a strong landscape architecture and urban planning offering. Competes for the same municipal public-space briefs, but at significantly larger scale and broader service portfolio.
• White Arkitekter: Major Nordic architecture firm with landscape architecture and urban planning capabilities. Overlaps with Studio Land on Swedish municipal and infrastructure commissions as a much larger incumbent.
• C.F. Møller: Denmark-based architecture and landscape practice currently engaging Studio Land as sub-consultant on Uppsala C. Comparable in design language for Swedish/Nordic public projects, but operates at substantially larger scale.

Direct peers

• SLA (Stig L. Andersson): Copenhagen-based landscape architecture firm known for high-design urban public-space projects. Comparable in design profile and project type, though larger and with broader international reach.
• Karavan Landskap: Independent Swedish landscape architecture practice working on public space, urban regeneration, and masterplanning projects. Most directly comparable peer in scale, geography, and project type to Studio Land.
• LAND Arkitektur: Scandinavian landscape architecture practice with offices in Denmark and Sweden, focused on urban transformation and public space design. Comparable specialty firm operating across the same Nordic municipal market.
• Nivå Landskapsarkitektur: Stockholm-based independent landscape architecture studio delivering urban, residential, and public-realm projects in Sweden. Comparable niche practice with similar municipal and developer client mix.
• Tema Gruppen: Swedish architecture and urban planning consultancy where Studio Land's founders previously worked. Directly comparable project base and client roster, and a competitor for the same municipal commissions.
