Point Hyllie will be an important part of the new urban space around Hyllie station square. This new development area will accommodate about 7.000 residents, 7.000 workplaces and 17.000 commuters via the underground station and the resunds-trains connecting to Copenhagen.  Exterior View

 Point Hyllie Malmo Point Hyllie consists of four tower blocks rising up from a column-supported base. The tallest building is approximately 95 m high, the next-tallest 49 m, and the final two between 29 and 23 m high. The two tallest buildings, the twin towers, will symbolise a gateway to Sweden, but also a gateway linking the Hyllie residential area with the square. The buildings have been designed to allow the project to be adapted to human dimensions, and there is a gentle and supple transition between high and low. The project will encompass 300 homes as well as offices and shops, and will form a distinctive landmark in the area.  Rendering The tall buildings have a slender profile, and facades leaning away from the public space to avoid overshadowing and turbulence. Covered arcades and angled passages lead through the scheme, and link to the surrounding streets. The different heights of the buildings mediate the transitions from the urban hub of the station to the lower, dense urban blocks towards the south, and to the cantilevered roof of the nearby Arena.  Rendering The buildings are linked by a continuous, double-height arcade around the station square with street-front cafés and shops at ground level to create a strong and attractive urban realm with a human scale. The two tallest buildings are connected by a two-level retail space for high-end shopping, covered by a large public terrace and roof-garden with restaurant and cafés that offer views to the square and the Øresund.  Rendering The housing units occupy the three tallest buildings, from the 3rd floor to the 27th floor. All units enjoy prime views, multiple aspects and generous daylight, including sheltered roof-top terraces available on the top floors.  Rendering Sustainability: The buildings energy consumption is targeted to be 40% below Building code requirements, which amounts to approximately 15% below Green Building Standards. This will be achieved by numerous means, such as heat recovery from ventilation, building envelope performance and air-tightness above standards, controlled solar gain, water conserving fixtures, low-energy lighting, green roofs and environmentally friendly materials etc.  Rendering C.
