Olsson Lyckefors Arkitektur is engaged in a broad spectrum of projects, ranging from research studies to architecture and interior design for corporate, public and private clients. With an exploratory approach and a focus on the emotional experience of architecture, the essence of Olsson Lyckefors Arkitektur's work is the search for narrative qualities in strategic, poetic, and communicative architecture.

Johan Olsson and Andreas Lyckefors studied architecture at Chalmers Architecture and in Holland at the schools of architecture in Eindhoven and Delft, respectively. Upon graduating in 2005, they started working together as Olsson Lyckefors Arkitekter. The company, in its current form, was founded in 2012, together with Per Bornstein, who left the studio in 2020.

Today, the company is led by Johan Olsson and Andreas Lyckefors as Olsson Lyckefors Arkitektur, with 33 architects, interior designers and staff members in Gothenburg and Stockholm.

The office’s work has been recognized and awarded both nationally and internationally. In 2023, the office received the Swedish Architects’ Kasper Salin Prize for Merkurhuset, Sweden’s oldest and most prestigious architecture award. The project was also nominated for the 2024 Mies van der Rohe Award.

Olsson Lyckefors has previously won the WAN Awards in 2016, the biannual Rödfärg Prize in 2018, and the Häuser Awards in 2019. They were finalists for Gothenburg’s Building of the Year in 2019 with the new Polestar Cars headquarters, Brf Qville, and Villa Radal. The office has also received several nominations for Guldstolen, Sweden’s award for best interior architecture. In 2022, Dezeen Awards shortlisted the firm as Emerging Studio of the Year.
