Vortex, Södra Centrum

The new inner-city extension will be characterised by forward-looking, sustainable and urban architecture. An important aspect of shaping Södra Centrum is to create a carefully considered urban environment that links the new district with Göteborg’s city centre.

Sharpened expression and conceptual solutions in Vortex

Are you a young adult, without children, wanting to live centrally and close to the pulse of the city? Then Vortex is for you. Here, together with Skanska, we focus on shaping an urban atmosphere with refined expressions, welcoming homes with an innovative character and efficient layouts.

The project comprises 255 space-efficient apartments for young urban residents, featuring challenging material choices and conceptual solutions. Among other things, we developed a specially designed functional wall that runs through the entire dwelling.

Making full use of the volume

Most of the apartments here are one- or two-room units. We have worked extensively to maximise the dwellings’ volume, thereby freeing up floor area. The layout principle is streamlined and recurs in all apartments, regardless of size. On street level there are urban duplex units with their own entrance and double ceiling height. Duplex penthouses are also located on the top floor.

No need for your own car

The project also includes an investment in a car-sharing scheme and cargo bikes available for loan – a forward-looking solution that makes it possible to reduce the number of parking spaces in the area. Car-sharing schemes are a remarkable and innovative concept which, over time, can lead to fewer cars and thus reduced environmental impact in our cities.
