About Klas Hyllén

Klas Hyllén grew up on the coast in southern Sweden and has lived and worked in the UK since early 2000. Coming from a family of makers, artists and thinkers he developed an interest for architecture early on. He has always been interested in the relationship between context, materials and in how buildings relate to their place and natural environment.

Klas graduated with a first-class honours degree in Architecture at the Edinburgh College of Art followed by a Diploma in Architecture with distinction. Klas went on to earn a Master of Philosophy at Edinburgh University for his work on 'The Unconscious Life of Old Town', a research project by design on the relationship between the perception of our built environment and contemporary architecture within a historic context.

Klas has also held Associate Lecturer positions at Edinburgh University and UWE Bristol.
