Office Conversion in Stockholm, Sweden by C.F. MØlLLER Architects

A mix of new-built and a transformation of an existing brick office building, formerly occupied by TekniskaNämdhuset, part of the City of Stockholm, the idea behind the proposal is to retain a large proportion of the existing structure, and add a slab building and two smaller point blocks between the former office wings – a solution which, together with the jetty and new terraced stairs facing the water, opens up the buildings to their surroundings and creates a new, recreational meeting place in central Stockholm.

All three new buildings have a characteristic façade and a wooden structure. The mixed architecture creates the possibility for a resource-efficient and durable housing project, just as it provides opportunities for many different apartment types, all equipped with glazed balconies and aimed at a diverse clientele.

A staffed lobby area on the ground floor with, for example, a walk-in fridge for take-away food and the opportunity to book bicycles and cars from the shared residents’ pool is one of many initiatives for helping with everyday life for residents. In the apartments, sustainable living is supported by, for example, initiatives such as kitchen cupboard solutions that include waste sorting – on wheels, making it easier to dispose of your waste.
