Coolville Design Lab is known for people-centered urban design that integrates nature-based solutions, mobility planning, and resilient public spaces. Our focus is on creating healthier, more inclusive cities.

We use green and blue infrastructure to improve climate resilience, reduce heat, support biodiversity, and enhance wellbeing. Nature is treated as essential urban infrastructure, not decoration.

We design trauma-informed therapy gardens to heal mental trauma and PTSD, playgrounds, waterfronts, mobility corridors, squares, streets, and temporary urban interventions that strengthen community life and everyday comfort.

Yes. We plan cycling networks, design people-first streets, and integrate safe, intuitive mobility systems that support sustainable movement in cities. Our CEO Mikael Colville-Andersen is one of the leading experts on this topic, with experience in over 100 cities.

Our projects address heat islands, flooding, stormwater management, and microclimate improvements through ecological design, shading, water-sensitive solutions, and resilient materials.

We involve residents early and often through workshops, co-design processes, and tactical prototypes, ensuring public space reflects real needs and user experience.

Yes. We have extensive experience in trauma-informed and trauma-sensitive design, especially through urban renewal and public-space projects in Ukraine, since 2022.

We combine Nordic design principles, evidence-based research, and practical field experience in cities worldwide. Our work focuses on real-world impact, not theoretical models.

Yes. We frequently partner as a specialist sub-consultant on multidisciplinary teams, providing expertise in public space, mobility, nature-based design, and tactical urbanism.

We offer urban design, mobility planning, nature-based solutions, climate adaptation strategies, workshops, masterclasses, and quick-build tactical projects that help cities test ideas before scaling them.
