Fyrtornet High-Rise Building / Wingårdhs

Hadir Al Koshta — Sat, 01 Feb 2025 11:00:00 +0000

Fyrtornet is Malmö's new timber high-rise – a striking addition to the skyline and the final piece completing Hyllie Square. It's the first landmark to greet travelers as they arrive from the continent, a falu-red timber tower reaching proudly skyward, the tallest of its kind in Scandinavia.

Liljevalchs+ Museum / Wingårdhs

Paula Pintos — Mon, 05 Sep 2022 07:00:00 +0000

The addition to Liljevalchs Konsthall is reserved without cowering. Its posture is that of a discreet aide attending to the existing art gallery. A small, precisely tailored operation. One hundred seventy square meters of glass roof let the whole sky into the building. It’s all rather simple. A square filled with molded skylights. Two meters wide and two meters high. Two straight walls and two leaning. All the way up in the building a thin glass membrane separates inside from outside. Below, the light plays exactly the way we want it.

The Mill House / Wingårdh Arkitektkontor

Andreas Luco — Tue, 05 Mar 2019 03:00:00 +0000

Wingårdhs converted a large old farm in the countryside in southern Sweden into a vacation house for a family from the nearby city of Malmö. He transformed the original farm buildings – cowshed, stables, hay loft and barn – into sleeping quarters, kitchen and a gym, among other rooms, and added a new freestanding wing to the late 19th -century house. This little annex is a refuge, a quiet place to escape to or a private domain for guests to inhabit. Throughout the project, the client demonstrated unwavering faith in the architect, giving him great latitude in designing the little fifty-square-meter cottage.

Malmö Saluhall / Wingårdh Arkitektkontor AB

The old freight depot west of Malmö Central Station was no more than a roofless shell when two siblings, Nina Totté Karyd and Martin Karyd, bought it in order to create a market hall. In 2013 Wingårdh Architects was commissioned to transform the ruin into a market hall for about twenty vendors and restaurateurs. The initial intention was to add a similar volume onto the existing oblong brick building, but the plans changed when several layers of underground utilities were discovered on the site, reducing the buildable area of the lot.

Quality Hotel Friends / Wingårdh Arkitektkontor + Karolina Keyzer

Cristian Aguilar — Mon, 29 Sep 2014 00:00:00 +0000

The house with thousand eyes creates an illusion; like waves from a point in middle of the northern facade. The image appears from a distance. It makes the stiff block soft, even wet. The impression is formed by windows in three different sizes: 1.4, 1.7 and 2 meters in diameter. The variations furnish the standardized rooms with a kind of individuality, especially in corners.

Aula Medica / Wingårdh Arkitektkontor

Cristian Aguilar — Fri, 10 Jan 2014 01:00:00 +0000

Strange enough, no large auditorium was built at Karolinska Institutet when its campus was created in the 1940’s. Yes, there were intentions, but the medical university expanded in numbers as well as ranking without any possibility to assemble neither students nor scientists in large numbers. In the beginning of the new millennia, a donation finally made it possible to complete the compound with the venue it needed so long.

Facts Emporia / Wingårdh Arkitektkontor

Daniel Sánchez — Thu, 13 Jun 2013 01:00:00 +0000

Emporia is first and foremost an urban planning project in which offices, housing, and retail come together in a mixed-use development along Boulevarden and Stationsgatan in Hyllie, on the south side of Malmö. The main idea of our winning competition entry was to hide inward-looking retail behind a wreath of residential and commercial buildings. The whole shopping complex would thereby eventually become integrated into the fabric of the city.

Facts Tåkern Visitor Centre / Wingårdh Arkitektkontor AB

Javier Gaete — Fri, 23 Nov 2012 01:00:00 +0000

All the way out where the forest ends and the reeds begin, a visitor center hovers low on piles set carefully into the water’s edge. The building is clad in thatch, camouflaged like a birdwatcher’s blind, hiding its contents from the natural world that surrounds it. This is quiet architecture, using traditional local materials to break new ground with its crystalline geometry. Steep roofs transition seamlessly into walls. The steep pitch gives them longevity. The ridge, where a thatched roof is most vulnerable, is transformed into a glazed skylight.

Kuggen / Wingårdh Arkitektkontor

Jonathan Alarcón — Mon, 05 Nov 2012 00:00:00 +0000

A cylindrical, distinctive building in the middle of the town square is an urban plan¬ning motif with roots in the Italian Renaissance. The form offers lots of floor space in relation to the amount of exposed exterior wall surface, and the upper floors project out over the lower—more on the south side than on the north, so that the building par¬tially shades itself when the sun is high in the sky. A rotating screen shades the top floors, following the sun’s path around the building. The triangu¬lar-shaped windows let in the light where it’s needed most—by the ceiling, from where it can reach deep into the core of the building. Finally, its brocade of glazed terracotta panels takes on different appearances depending on our viewing angle and the changing daylight conditions. The red colors refer to the industrial paint that was closely associated to the wharfs and the harbor. Here and there they meet a contrasting green patch, as in an autumn leaf. These details change the build¬ing’s character from one side to another, and over the course of the day.
