Sofia Malmsten is an architect-turned-entrepreneur with 8 years of experience blending computational design, sustainability analysis, and product leadership as Co-founder & CEO of Hektar, a generative design tool for early-stage residential projects. Trained in Architecture and Mechanical Engineering at Chalmers, she couples hands-on skills in Rhino/Grasshopper, Revit/Dynamo and C# with practical daylight, energy and sustainability modelling from roles at Bonava and BuroHappold. Her career moves—from metallurgical analysis to teaching and architectural R&D—reveal a pragmatic problem-solver who translates technical simulation into buildable, people-centered housing solutions. Based in Bath with Swedish roots, she leads Hektar with a rare mix of design sensibility and engineering rigor, focused on speeding up early-stage decisions that materially reduce cost and environmental impact.
