The yoga pavilion in Vasaparken is a result of a quick and intuitive process emerging from citizen requests to the local authorities of the City of Stockholm. The City asked landscape architects at Nyréns to produce a design for a circular pavilion made of wood on a beautiful plot in the north-western area of the park.

Daniel Tapia — Mon, 20 Apr 2020 05:30:00 +0000

Boxen, the new studio gallery at ArkDes, the Swedish Centre for Architecture and Design in Stockholm, is a robust machine for fast-changing, experimental exhibitions. It is a structure that can be used in its entirety—inside and out, from bottom to top, by both exhibitors and audience—as a tactile, physically engaging experience. The blank canvas of the white-box interior contrasts with an external surface of chain-link wire mesh, designed for informal exhibition display effectively doubling the exhibitable wall space.

Haga Nova is the first residential block to be built in the new Hagastaden district in Stockholm. With neighbors like the twin towers at Torsplan, which when completed will form the gateway to the new district, and the stately office buildings on the southern side of Norra Stationsgatan, we conceived an architecture that would be powerful enough to face the urban context in a natural and equivalent way.

Blique Hotel by Nobis / Wingårdhs arkitektkontor

Pilar Caballero — Sat, 08 Jun 2019 05:00:00 +0000

Behind the sober building at Gävlegatan 18 in Stockholm, a mystical environment opens up. To the right stands a large building with many small windows and straight ahead is a bent one. Why all these little windows? And why this noble bend? All of it is now part of Nobis’s new hotel, Blique. The sober building facing the street, like the one on the courtyard with the many small square windows, was designed by Sigurd Lewerentz, the most ingenious individual of the twentieth century in Sweden. His radical obstinacy has now achieved mythical proportions, which only enhances the radiance of the distinctive courtyard building.

Norra Tornen / OMA | Reinier de Graaf

Diego Hernández — Thu, 08 Nov 2018 08:18:00 +0000

Text by Reinier de Graaf. The Norra Tornen project started with two inherited building envelopes, the remains of a cancelled project initiated by the former city architect Aleksander Wolodarski. Each a kind of 'crescendo' composition of different heights – neither slab nor tower – prohibit the unfolding of an uncompromised typology. Conversely, the opted program, apartments with an emphasis on large outdoor spaces, prevented too literal a translation of the envelopes into architectural form.

Norrmalm City District Sides with Nobel Foundation

Karissa Rosenfield — Sat, 04 Apr 2015 14:00:18 +0000

With opposition seemingly mounting against the Nobel Foundation’s plans to build a new, David Chipperfield-designed center along Stockholm’s Blasieholmen, advisors for Norrmalm's neighborhood management has spoke up in favor of the project believing to be an opportunity to enhance the urban fabric and make the area more family-friendly. "The administration believes that the new park should be as green as possible and that more play environments for children and youth a priority in the development of public spaces," reads the statement, highlighting the open space provided in the plan. Their response is just one of many that will help sway Stockholm’s City Planning and City Council final decision later this year.

AD Classics: Stockholm Public Library / Gunnar Asplund

Luke Fiederer — Wed, 01 Dec 2010 01:00:00 +0000

With its simple geometry and classical arrangement, Stockholm’s Public Library is a difficult building to characterize. Designed by noted Swedish architect Gunnar Asplund during the 1920s, the library is the physical manifestation of a transitionary period in both the rationale of its designer and the shifting values of European architecture. The ultimate result is a deceptively complex synthesis of styles presented in a visually straightforward package: the fading influence of Neoclassicism juxtaposed against the emergence of Rationalism.
