In the company-owned property, the total surface of tiny, admission conditions where not optimal, people sat huge spread apart and property consumed a lot of energy.

Image Courtesy © MURMAN ARKITEKTER AB  Image Courtesy © MURMAN ARKITEKTER AB Paf had the desire that the building would be an important communication and marketing factor and be a Pre-shot of how to design a building with a focus on long-term conservation of energy, where the whole company can be collected.  Image Courtesy © MURMAN ARKITEKTER AB  Image Courtesy © MURMAN ARKITEKTER AB Our proposal was: A new building to the south implemented as a carbon neutral passive houses with cladding of solar cells and solar panels on the roof. The property produces its own electricity. but are connected to district heating as backup. The shape of the new bulding is arched to outward signal that there is a building that takes its energy from the sun via solar cells, but also to form an interior space around which people sit and work, think, meet or moves. Here the whole Paf’s staff collected and following a presentation. Exterior binds the arched sloping shape together both existing wing of the buildings, which opens towards the new building to a larger entity formed and the entrance is in the meeting between the new and the old building.

The depth of the building becomes narrower on the upper floors, but still large enough to be able to sit and work individually or in groups to the facade, have cross-border venues in sofas closest joists where people move and visible. The interior is mainly white to take advantage of natural lighting. Outlook windows, with bright embrasures towards the south and lower breast height, high placed windows in the roof lets in natural light but not heat radiation from the south. In the atrium to the north is a high-up window strip that let in cool daylight in the interior square room.

The choice of materials has resulted in a comfortable office environment with very much wooden feeling and a relatively quiet and dry construction. The new well-insulated new outer wall to the south is 70 cm thick.

By performing walls glass walls are all working there visible to each other. Office Workplaces designed to support Paf way to work, after the “scrum” method. It means working in teams of 4-8 people in your own room with plenty of meeting points in different form outside office workplaces and workshop spaces are turning towards the square that contains a inviting curved staircase that runs through all floors.

With its round shape allows the associations to play in several forms. Sketch work started by the architects Hans Murman and Hans Eek (passive house expert) during a summer week on Gotland.
