Timeless, Intentional, and Balanced Design
Lagom Studio Architecture is rooted in the Swedish principle of Lagom—the art of balance, simplicity, and purpose. Founder Joseph Merrill believes that architecture is more than form—it’s a dialogue between people and nature. Architecture should seek harmony, where buildings become part of their environment rather than competing with it. Through collaboration, thoughtful detailing, and a commitment to sustainability, he strives to create spaces that feel timeless, intentional, and balanced.

Balance
At Lagom Studio Architecture our design process begins with a simple principle: balance. Every project is an opportunity to create spaces that are not only functional and beautiful, but also rooted in sustainability and respect for the environment.
We approach design with a deep awareness of place—its climate, culture, and natural surroundings. By integrating passive design strategies, energy-efficient systems, and sustainable materials, we ensure that each project minimizes environmental impact while enhancing the well-being of those who inhabit it.
For us, architecture is more than form—it’s a dialogue between people and nature. Our work seeks harmony, where buildings become part of their environment rather than competing with it. Through collaboration, thoughtful detailing, and an unwavering commitment to sustainability, we strive create spaces that feel timeless, intentional, and balanced.
