Meet the Team

  • Staffan Svenson

    Staffan has over 25 years experience designing award-winning custom residences. He creates site-specific spaces and designs in close collaboration with his clients. His early background in sculpture continues to inform his objective of creating beauty in three-dimensional space. Drawing from his Scandinavian background, Staffan continues to treat natural light as a design element and primary source of consideration throughout the design process. After graduating from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in NY and interning at Surber, Barber, Choate, and Hertlein Architects, he was a founding partner of Dencity, both in Atlanta. He is an avid tennis player.

  • Denise Svenson

    Denise graduated from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, and is a registered architect in California, Georgia, and Florida. After a travel fellowship to study the impact of traditional Scandinavian handcraft on contemporary architecture, she began her career in Atlanta with Stang and Newdow and Smith Dalia Architects. Along with sustainable design, her expertise includes drawing from xeriscape and natural landscaping principles to blur the lines between interior and exterior living. Denise enjoys gardening and is a talented potter.
