About White Arkitekter

White Arkitekter, founded in 1951 in Gothenburg, is one of Scandinavia’s leading architectural practices with over 500 employees. We work in an international context with the mission to enable sustainable life through the art of architecture. Our vision is that all our architecture will be climate neutral through design excellence by 2030.

Since our inception in 1951, our employees work on projects in 12 countries. 190 employees have worked with healthcare assignments, and the sector makes up 30% of our revenue. For us, sustainable architecture is about creating buildings and equal societies where people are in focus. The challenge, however, is to do it within the planetary boundaries. The Global Goals and our commitment to the Global Compact provide direction for our work.

The London studio, established in 2015, focuses on sustainable urban masterplans, affordable housing, healthcare and cultural buildings, blending Scandinavian expertise with UK needs, focusing on enabling sustainable life through intelligent, holistic design. In 2023 we won Dezeen Awards “Architect of the year.” We were awarded for being “a leading voice in the drive towards more sustainable buildings.”

White Arkitekter’s London studio has successfully won and delivered The Oriel, Moorfields Hospital, and secured planning permission for the Cambridge Children’s Hospital where design continues; paving the way for the team’s expansion and strategic push within the UK healthcare sector. In the context of healthcare, our focus is to design healing environments that reduce stress, increase mobility and strengthen recovery.
