Fredblad Arkitekter

Fredblad Arkitekter is a Swedish architecture firm founded in Halmstad. Established in 1951 by architect Gösta Fredblad and civil engineer Erland Erlandsson, the firm soon became the sole property of Gösta Fredblad, before becoming a partnership in 1988 with AnnCharlott Castler and Leif Jönsson. It then expanded with the opening of an office in Göteborg between 2008 and 2011, and then in Varberg in 2021, bringing its number of locations to three. Three new partners joined the firm in 2025. Fredblad Arkitekter designs sustainable, human-centred environments where people live, meet and work, drawing on a team of architects and building engineers involved from design through to project delivery. The firm’s portfolio includes landmark projects such as the Halmstad police station (1960) and the Terraza Hotel in Ljungby (1964), as well as a specialization developed as early as 1970 in the design of fire stations. Today, its work spans residential, office and cultural programs along Sweden’s entire west coast. Fredblad Arkitekter is guided by the motto “it should be pleasant to go to work”, a philosophy that places people at the heart of sustainable, high-quality architecture, passed on for 75 years through successive generations of partners.
