Bryggudden Residencials

Bryggudden is growing! The number of homes is increasing at a steady pace and is filled with people who want to live here, where classic landmarks and old buildings meet new. Bryggudden is surrounded by water on two sides. All the apartments in the new buildings have balconies and if you look east, there is a view of Pråmkanalen. When Löfbergs moved their warehouse, the ambition of Löfberg Fastigheter AB was to fill the area with more apartments, a large food store, a preschool and a multi storey car park. Today, Bryggudden is an area full of life.

New residential area surrounded by water

On the south-west side of Bryggudden there is a quay area where you can walk along the jetties, cafes, and outdoor restaurants. If you turn east, there is a canal area where the sides of the buildings are facing the street. These two areas meet at the Redaretorget at the southernmost tip of the area. This is where the city’s newest landmark can be found, in the shape of Karlstad’s tallest building: a 20-storey high apartment complex housing 62 flats with a view of Karlstad and Vänern.

600 high quality homes

Tengbom  has been involved in Bryggudden since the project began. The team has developed seven phases—four completed, two underway, and one still on the drawing board.

In recent years, several large construction projects have finished, with more on the way. These include both rental and privately owned apartments. So far, Tengbom has designed over 600 modern, high-quality homes in Bryggudden.

Our vision for Bryggudden has been to create exclusive residences inspired by the character of the old harbor warehouses in the area.

A touch of the old warehouse

The classic 1950s buildings with light brick across Pråmkanalen inspired the latest phases of Bryggudden. The upcoming phases maintain the same volume and scale but take on colors from surrounding buildings. Dark red brick and black detailing create a strong connection to the harbor warehouses.

“We use a lot of bricks and solid materials,” says Anki Haasma, architect and office manager. “The client, Löfberg Fastigheter, wants to preserve the marina feel.”

Well-known landmarks in Karlstad frame the new area, and many residents enjoy views of Karlstad’s water tower.
