What Winell & Jern arkitekter AB does

Winell & Jern arkitekter AB is a private Swedish architecture firm founded in 2011 in Linköping by architect Bengt Winell (SAR/MSA) and building engineer Tobias Jern, who serves as CEO. The firm provides full-service architectural services spanning the entire project lifecycle from initial planning and sketching through complete construction documentation, covering residential (single-family, multi-family, timber construction, passive houses), commercial offices, retail and industrial buildings, sports and swimming facilities, schools and preschools, interior design and color consultation, and urban development. Its client base includes property developers (Lundbergs Fastigheter, Lindsténs fastigheter, Sankt Kors, Dukaten, Bonava, Pionero Fastigheter), the municipality of Linköping, and other commercial customers, with a cumulative track record of more than 1,000 projects delivered to over 300 customers since founding. The firm operates from its Linköping headquarters at Brandmannagatan 1 and is opening a second office in Nyköping in 2025.

The firm runs on a Mac-based environment with standard architecture software and employs BIM (Building Information Modeling) for documentation and project coordination. Revenue is generated through professional services fees on a project basis, with no public pricing disclosed; GTM is sales-led, relying on direct engagement with developers and municipalities, competitive tender processes, and repeat client relationships. The team of 16 includes architects SAR/MSA, civil engineers, BIM specialists, and certified accessibility experts. Ownership is held by five co-owners (Winell, Jern, Wallén, Kvanta, Rangsjö), with no external institutional investors. The firm is certified by Great Place to Work and has established co-development partnerships with agnasARK and multi-party project partnerships with Bonava, Husherren, and Pionero Fastigheter.
