Client Fabege
Urban Design has helped Fabege with the property redevelopment and renovation of the office property Sliparen 2 in Solna. This project includes Stockholm's first ETFE roof that allows maximum transparency and a light-weight construction that has minimal impact on the existing structure - all creating a bright and airy atrium in the former courtyard space. The centerpiece of the atrium is a large terraced bleacher and stair for lectures and events, and a footbridge which connects to the office spaces on the upper floor.

Client SSC, Swedish Space Corporation
Urban Design has designed the new headquarters for the Swedish Space Corporation located in Solna. The workplaces, which were previously divided on separate levels, are now gathered together on one floor around a common courtyard, which facilitates communication and synergies between the various divisions in the company. The staff has been actively involved throughout the process in shaping their own workplaces through workshop sessions and discussions. The floor below contains laboratory spaces, ensuring easy access. the lobby area includes a large scale display furniture which describes the different services that SSC provides for its customers. The dining room “Space Out” is a natural meeting point with its strategic location just behind the reception area, with access to the outdoor courtyard and its skylight with views down to the rocket-assembly room on the lower level. Each meeting room is named after a famous scientist that worked with space exploration.

drivhus - stockholms city planning & administrative office
Status Competition winner
Year 2014
Client City of Stockholm
With our proposal Drivhus (Greenhouse), designed together with our Spanish colleagues, SelgasCano, we recently won the international competition for the new Stockholm City Planning and Administrative Offices, to be located in the redevelopment area of Söderstaden. Land Arkitektur participated as the landscape architects and SWECO as the structural and energy system engineers. The building will provide a working environment for 1800 people, as well as a democratic meeting space for civil servants, politicians and the public to discuss the future development of the city. The entire project is seen as a larger re-vitalized urban space that will transform the existing context of large-scale event structures into a more humane environment with a new natural park area as its centerpiece, surrounded by housing, shopping and cultural activities. In Drivhus, the greenery of the park continues into the building, literally creeping up “under the skin” of the technically advanced double-façade, thereby becoming an integral part of the building’s energy and ventilation system.
