The practice was founded by Viktor Westerdahl. Viktor is an ARB registered architect with over 10 years of industry experience in the design and delivery of small and large housing projects. Having worked with Karakusevic Carson Architects, Viktor has delivered projects to the multiple needs and requirements of complex client bodies, such as local authorities and large developers.  

His past clients include Brent Council, TFL, Canary Wharf Group, Anthology, and Red Door Ventures. With them he has led the design of a 100 unit mixed use scheme on a constrained site adjacent to a railway line in Wembley; led the technical design for a number of infill sites in Lambeth and Newham; and worked on the construction phase of a 18 unit mixed use building in Hackney built using a Cross Laminated Timber (CLT) which received a commendation in the Hackney Design Award. Viktor has also led a domestic extension and refurbishment project for Delvendahl Martin Architects which was shortlisted for the RIBA Regional Award; and assisted on a high-profile, 200 metre office building with Herzog & de Meuron in Switzerland which received the Seismic Award.

Viktor’s projects have required balancing stringent cost requirements with high aspirations and technical limitations (such as flood prone sites). Viktor uses Building Information Technology (BIM), which enables meticulous organisation of complex projects. 

Viktor graduated with distinction from The Bartlett in 2013, winning the Design and Technology award that year. He is the co-founder of a social enterprise STORE that provides architecture and design education to disadvantaged young people in London.
