Hermansson Hiller Lundberg Arkitekter

What Hermansson Hiller Lundberg Arkitekter does

Hermansson Hiller Lundberg Arkitekter is a privately held architecture studio founded in Stockholm in 2010 by three partners — Andreas Hermansson, Andreas Hiller, and Samuel Lundberg — all holding Arkitekt SAR/MSA credentials. The practice operates as a single integrated design studio of approximately nine professionals delivering architectural services across residential buildings (multi-family, student housing, private houses), institutional facilities (care homes, pre-schools), hospitality (hotels, spas), commercial conversions, and urban planning. Its portfolio includes projects at notable scale, such as the 380-apartment Trilling student housing in Stockholm, the 210-apartment NO4 Nacka office-to-residential conversion, the 115-room Frösö Park Hotel in Östersund, and the 48-unit Rödeby care home in Karlskrona.

The studio's go-to-market is sales-led and competition-driven, winning work through procurement and invited architectural competitions run by Swedish municipalities and private developers, supplemented by direct client commissions. Client segments are split between municipal and government entities (housing, care, schools, urban planning) and private developers (residential, hotels, office conversions), with individual homeowners as a secondary segment. Geographic footprint is concentrated in Sweden — spanning Stockholm, Gothenburg, Nacka, Järfälla, Östersund, Ekerö, Linköping, Falkenberg, Kalmar, Markaryd, Sundsvall, Värmdö, Karlskrona, Uppsala, and Sigtuna — with international visibility through biennale exhibitions (Venice, Seoul), lecture circuits (Architectural Foundation London, KTH, TU München, Royal Academy of Arts), and competition entries in Germany, Austria, Iceland, Denmark, Finland, and Norway.

Revenue is generated entirely through professional design fees on a project basis, with no disclosed pricing or public rate cards. The studio has accumulated sustained national and international recognition, including multiple Best Architects awards from Germany (2017-2022), the German Design Award (2018), the Swedish national Design S Award (2016), Architizer A+ recognition (2017, 2019), and a 1st prize in the March 2024 competition for the Gothenburg Museum of Art extension won in partnership with Barozzi Veiga and landscape architect Peter Korn. The firm is privately held by its three founders with no external investors, no parent company, and no subsidiaries.

Broad incumbents

• Wingårdhs: Large Gothenburg-based Swedish architecture firm with an award-winning portfolio spanning housing, offices, hotels, and cultural buildings.

• Snøhetta: Norwegian-founded international architecture and design studio with a similar awards-led profile and work across cultural, civic, and hospitality projects. Comparable positioning in the Nordic premium architecture market, though operating at much greater scale and global reach.
• White Arkitekter: Major Nordic architecture firm with offices across Sweden, Norway, and the UK, working on housing, healthcare, education, and urban planning. Directly comparable in project typology, especially housing and care, but significantly larger and with broader geographic reach.
• Henning Larsen: Danish architecture firm (now part of Rambøll) with a strong portfolio in cultural, civic, and educational buildings across the Nordics. Comparable in cultural and civic typology, particularly for museum and public-sector work, though operating at significantly greater scale.

Direct peers

• Barozzi Veiga: Barcelona-based architecture studio with a strong museum and cultural portfolio, including the Bundestag visitor centre.

Closely comparable as a Stockholm studio competing for the same type of museum, cultural, and public-sector commissions, at similar scale and with a comparable craft-focused positioning.

Emerging players

• General Architecture (Garde Høj+Poulstrøm, formerly JAJA): Danish architecture studio with an emerging profile in cultural, transport, and adaptive re-use projects in Scandinavia.
