Main entrance on Osquars Backe leading to ateliers, workshops and exhibition area. Teaching rooms and offices are on the three upper floors.

Construction will start in 2012, completion is planned for 2015.

The new School of Architecture in its context. Facades are glass and deep red corten steel connecting to the existing buildings of dark red brick at the KTH Campus. Construction is in-situ cast concrete with load bearing parts visible as freely placed fields in the facade.

Meeting room and student ateliers.

Exhibition space and Atelier at entrance level.

Building permission was granted in december 2010, completion is planned for late 2011.

Facades and roof are clad with titanium.

Inner courtyard, entrance.

An old industrial building was remodelled to create new facilities for Snowcrash in the southern harbour district of Stockholm.  With the idea to create a contemporary environment which would communicate Snowcrash’s ideals, we opted for open and fluid solutions rather than a closed and final form.

The main design element is a continuous free-form glass wall inserted into the existing warehouse structure. By twisting and turning, the glass enclosure generates spaces of different character, creating unexpected, landscape-like situations and views. The glass panes are screen printed with a pattern developed to provide a precise visual function and spatial effect. The result is a spatial experiment where the undulating glass core creates defined places within the premises; showroom, east office, kitchen and west office.

As no doors are placed in the glass facing the open office, a visual and spatial pause is created in the transition from work to meeting. Deep grey in the passageways underlines this spatial contrast. The colour scheme is otherwise atelier-like; with light, neutral tones.

As many of the Snowcrash products have a mobile attitude, the concept is plug-in; for example lighting and acoustic panels. The glass panes can be stacked like a deck of cards and moved to be recycled in a future office.

Stureplan is the place in Stockholm where business, shopping and nightclubbing all coincide. At all times there are people on the move, going to their next meeting or date. In its centre, the sculpture Svampen (The Mushroom) has been a well-known meeting point ever since the era of the tramways.

The client wanted a small unit to include a compact kitchen, a bar, dish-services as well as a large cooled exposure of food and beverages.

Inspired by this situation the new restaurant-box was designed to meet its around-the-clock urban environment. During daytime it opens up to provide straight forward self-service; at night it is a closed cube – a big lamp to guide late nightclubbers on their way to the next bar. The perforated facades filter the sunlight during the day and give a warm light from the inside at night. This facade pattern also makes the box resist the realities of urban everyday life;street dust, tagging and sometimes turbulent nightlife.

The nearly square volume is tilted in its diagonal. Its proportions were given by the maximum size object that can be transported through the viaducts to the north of Stockholm. With its deliberate instable form, the result is a piece of both mobile and changing architecture, it can be seen each year from April to September.

The construction is thought from the top down, where the roof and facades meet at 90° while the floor is inclined at 5°. This gives the characteristic geometry of the tilted block, which is built throughout in stainless steel, aluminium, water-resistant plywood and glass (etched and clear white-glass).
