Biography
Clason studied
Work
His first major work was the Bünsow building (1886–1888) at Strandvägen in Stockholm, commissioned by the sawmill baron Friedrich Bünsow and influenced by French Renaissance architecture. It broke new ground in its use of natural material throughout (limestone and bricks) rather than the plaster that had been dominant in Swedish architecture until that point. It also broke against conventions through its avoidance of complete symmetry.
During most of the 1880s, Clason ran an architectural firm in Stockholm together with architect Kasper Erik Salin (1856–1919). He designed the house at 14 Österlånggatan (1888-1889) and Adelsvärd House (Adelswärdska huset) at Norrström in Stockholm (1889). They also designed Östermalmshallen (1889), the indoor market at Östermalmstorg in Stockholm.[3][4]
