Hornsbruksgatan mixed use building
Tham & Videgård work on the project to replace the old and run down metro station building and electrical substation with an innovative and environmentally friendly mixed use building. The new building will include activities such as restaurant, cafe and shops at street level and a glass house restaurant with outdoor dining on the roof terrace.
