NITHIN KOSHY JACOB
About
I work at the intersection of urban planning, architecture, and real-world implementation.
I have a background in architecture and planning, with a strong interest in how cities develop in practical, fair, and sustainable ways.
My experience includes spatial analysis, adaptive reuse, stakeholder-focused projects, and turning ideas into realistic next steps.
I am particularly interested in contributing to teams working with urban development, regeneration, housing, and implementation-oriented planning.
Based in Gothenburg, I am looking for opportunities where I can grow while adding value through both practical work and strategic thinking.
Approach
I combine systems thinking, spatial understanding, and practical execution to help complex urban challenges move forward through realistic next steps and long-term improvement.

Background
I hold a Master’s degree in Architecture and Planning Beyond Sustainability from Chalmers University of Technology.
My master’s thesis in Hammarkullen, Gothenburg, explored how an abandoned basement space could be reactivated through a phased, small-scale intervention focused on both spatial and social use.
Prior to this, I founded Merak Projects, where I worked on residential and community-focused projects, including housing and restoration of culturally significant buildings.
Current Direction
Based in Gothenburg, I’m looking to contribute to teams working on urban development, regeneration, planning, or implementation-focused projects where thoughtful ideas need practical delivery.
