Founded in 2010 by Magnus Ström, Ström Architects, based in New Forest, UK, has brought Swedish Architecture at its best world-wide. The firm specializes in creating one-off houses with astonishing contemporary design satisfying every need of its customers.
In recent years, the architectural firm has worked with projects in Sweden, Finland, Spain, Turkey, Czech, USA, Caribbean and the Middle East. Since 2010, Ström Architects has grown in size and reputation and has been recognized through various awards – both nationally and internationally.
Magnus Ström moved to the UK in 1994, where he graduated with an honors degree in architecture at Portsmouth University. He soon realized that working on house projects was more interesting and rewarding than designing office space.

Regularly, the company hosts “Fika” – building on the Swedish tradition of making time to share a cup of coffee and a bite to eat with colleagues. At these Fika sessions they have a brief presentation by one team architect or external guest about something that inspire the group.
Here are some of Ström Architects’ selected projects:
Barcelona House (2023), located in the hills just outside Barcelona, and enjoys unobstructed 180º views along the Mediterranean coastline to one side, and pine forests to the rear.
Cedar Cove (concept) is a family home sitting on the west facing shore of a beautiful cove in Rhode Island, near Newport.
Superhouse (project) is located in a quiet, private bay on an undisclosed Mediterranean island.

Ström insists that he does not design houses, but homes with soul. In his spare time Magnus enjoys spending time with his family and yacht racing. He finished 9th overall in The Fastnet Race, and won his class in the trans-Atlantic ARC race.
