The company is always seeking the answer for architecture of the future, with modern technology that minimizes the human impact in nature. The architects as well as the designers look for new solutions both technically and aesthetically. Read more about the architect who created the most beautiful villa in Sweden.
“I’ve come to realize that life is not square, and neither is nature. Therefore, it is obvious to me that our living spaces should not be square either”, the Swedish architect Pål Ross explains. “We don’t walk in straight lines on the beach or in the woods, so why on earth do vi insist in living in square houses,” he adds.
Since 1996, Ross Architecture & Design AB, under the leadership of architect Pål Ross, has worked with the intention of being the leader in offering its own unique designs. Their innovative and award-winning architecture has a very strong historical foundation that guarantees timelessness in their work.

Since he started his architecture business, Pål has created more than 300 beautiful homes. One of them was featured in 2021 in Swedish TV4’s show “Grand Designs”. In the show, Pål tells about the need for both body and soul to feel well at home, and why all his houses have round shapes and ambitious environmental goals.
Pål is the son of a gifted artist and granson of a factory owner in Småland in Sweden and says people there are known for their persistent approach to business. “I sometimes think that this is my key strength – and perhaps my greatest weakness. I am incredibly bad at giving up, but thanks to this perseverance and skill I have done what people thought impossible,” he once said in an interview.
He graduated in 1992, facing a harsh economic climate and high unemployment amongst architects and started Ross Architect & Design in 1996.
In 2009, the company created Villa Victor in Öresund, which was regarded as ‘the most beautiful villa in Sweden’. Pål Ross is an expert at thinking outside the box and his reference list testifies to a solid competence far beyond the ordinary. His houses are characterized by a combination of the classical and modern, organic forms and are in interplay with nature.

In 2013, Ross Studio was announced as one of the winners in the European leg of the International Property Award, stating that the winners “increase the beauty” of their cities.
In 2014, Ross Studio was prized internationally for the “Best Single Residence in Sweden”. The villa also received a building preservation award from the local history society of the Jämtland region for its anchoring to the area’s architectural historical and cultural heritage.
Pål Ross has spent several years living in Spain and has successfully introduced Ross Architecture & Design in the country. One of his latest projects together with a Swedish client was a beautiful property finalized last year. The house is built in a fantastic location where an old house was torn down and a new house was erected with a unique design in the southern part of the Iberian Peninsula where the rather hilly landscape fitted the architecture perfectly.
“Our organic shaping creates playful shadows as the walls are not completely straight. This adds vitality. These buildings are made in white which is an unusually fruitful color to work with. It has attitude and is timeless. The physical environments that we build around us need to make us feel alive, make us feel joy about being where we are. That’s probably why we earlier this month were awarded both gold and silver price in ADCs international architecture competition,” Pål Ross concludes.
