Carl Westman

Ernst Carl Westman (20 February 1866 – 23 January 1936) was a Swedish architect and interior designer.

In 1893, he married artist Elin Andersson and moved to the United States where he practiced with architect R. L. Daus in New York City in 1893–1895.

He was one of the first Swedish architects who developed the new Nordic National Romantic Style, a style which took the cultural and building precedents and merged them with ideas from the English Arts and Crafts movement to create a very distinct Swedish architecture often in brick and wood.

Carl Westman's Swedish General Medical Association building in Stockholm (1904-1906) was the first building built in the National Romantic Style, with the Röhss Museum in Gothenburg (1910–1914) and Stockholm Court House (1911–1915), providing another two prominent examples.

Carl Westman was also a part-time interior designer of furniture and utility supplies such as tiled stoves.
