Stockholm Harborfront Silo Conversion

The purpose of the project is to develop an innovative design concept for an existing silo that is to be repurposed into a mixed-use and residential building. The design concept should be used as a conceptual guideline for the development of the neighboring group of silos and as part of a larger scale urban project for the entire area of Loudden. Loudden is an industrial harbor area located in North-east Stockholm. It is in the future to be developed into a modern urban area with an inner-city character.

A blend between a grass field and the skies, green and blue, nature and architecture, simple harmony.

Ideas and Theme: Human Return To The Nature, Blend With Nature, Clean Air, Sustainable Living, Simplicity.

To insert architecture between two major elements: Earth and the Skies. To make it blend in a very natural way, to make the edges/borders disappear. To return human civilization to its roots, to provide truly comfortable living, to give what is really important – clean air and sustainability. Each silo is like a natural element now, grass on the walls and on the roof provides natural insulation from the cold weather during winter time and bloom with flowers during the summer! Walls are decorated with a natural wooden ornament, it looks like a deer horns and plays along with Swedish traditional ornaments.
