Abisko

Special façade stands out

The façade material that we chose was hard-burnt bricks and shaped bay windows in corten steel – a durable material with a beautiful, rust-coloured patina. The vivid texture and colour variations of the brick, along with the characterful bay windows, create an interesting unity, which enrich the urban space both from a distance and close by.

Attention to detail

We  focused on every detail to ensure high-quality flats. Additionally, the design emphasizes connections between rooms and generous views. From the bay windows, residents enjoy stunning views of the beautiful Nationalstadsparken. Meanwhile, towards the courtyard, slanted glass balconies extend from shielding brick walls, creating private patios facing southwest. The design recesses the top floor from the street and shapes it as a maisonette.

Nomination for Årets Bygge

The neighbourhood Abisko in Norra Djurgårdsstaden is a close partnership between five contractors. From a design point of view, it is an exciting development where each contractor worked with their own architect to create an exciting and contrasting unity. Our buildings, along with others in the area, earned a nomination for the award Årets Bygge 2015. This year’s Building of the Year is the civic construction sector’s most prestigious competition. It highlights excellence in quality, project collaboration, finance, and design.
