He designed villas, apartment buildings, and public structures, including several Domus houses and industrial buildings in Gislaved, as well as notable functionalist works such as the Fullersta cinema. He was also behind buildings at Vår Gård in Saltsjöbaden and the terraced housing area along Solna kyrkväg.
