At Nola we proudly consider ourselves as committed community problem solvers; and our work has always stemmed from real human needs.
Nola took its current shape in the 1980 when Agneta Stake took over the company. With great community involvement, passion and sensitivity towards the prominent architects and urban planners of the time, she sculpted a company that would become a guide for how the urban environment could appear and function.
