The residential project of the Swedish firm led by Johan Olsoon and Andreas Lyckefors is located on the island of Hisingen, which belongs to the municipality of Göteborg. With a total size of 43,200 square meters, the three apartment blocks rise between six and eight stories and are organized around closed courtyards, unlike other buildings in the vicinity.
To fit the complex into its context, the model used was that of the urban zones across the river, such as Linnéstaden, where constructions of different decades coexist. Hence the new residential buildings combine bricks and exposed concrete, with a material palette anchored to the immediate environs and a larger sphere. For the ground level, a type of dwelling has been developed which, thanks to ceilings soaring higher than four meters, can in future house public programs.
