Pagoden / Semrén & Månsson. Architects: Semrén & Månsson AB Location: Gullbergsvass, Gothenburg, Sweden Area: 10,600.0 sqm Year: 2012 Photographs: Krister Engström In December 2012 Semrén & Månsson and ByggGöta received the Per & Alma Olssons award for successfully renovating the well-known building Pagoden in Gothenburg.
After many years of being empty and abandoned, the building has now been given a new life. By an almost surgical intervention, the dark core has been transformed into a new, light, multiple story atria. This forms an open connection in the building and solves the problem of the large dimensions. “To be awarded one of the finest regional prizes for the third time make us both happy and proud, “says Magnus Månsson, CEO. “For us it is a clear proof that our philosophy – a holistic approach – really works.” Pagoden was originally built to house the tobacco warehouse and offices for the Tobaksmonopolet (The Swedish Tobacco Monopoly) at the Gothenburg high seas harbour. Glass House / Unit Arkitektur AB. Architects: Unit Arkitektur AB Location: Träslövsläge, Sweden Design Principal: Mikael Frej + Klas Moberg Project Architects: Frans Magnusson Client: Karin and Sven-Olav Floor area: 250 sqm (Glass House), 70 sqm (House inside Glass House) Project year: 2006-2011 Photographs: Krister Engström, Unit Arkitektur This project is not about form.
It is about creating something that Sweden can´t offer – a nice climate! It has been verified that the space inside the glass house has the same climate as Sevilla in southern Spain. In Träslövsläge just south of Varberg on the Swedish west coast Karin and Sven-Olav acquired a parcel of farmland. This property is located along an old village street with a vast open field behind. In addition to the old traditional main building a large barn and a smaller cottage are situated on the plot. To the south there is an extensive orchard with a rich variety of trees. Oktavilla / Elding Oscarson. Architect: Elding Oscarson Location: Stockholm, Sweden Structural Engineer: Konkret Builder: Nils Bengtsson Bygg / Storskog Bygg & Montage Floor Area: 160 sqm Project Year: 2009 Photographer: Åke E:son Lindman This design bureau for magazines and web is housed in an old textile manufacturing hall in the very center of Stockholm.
They loved the naked, lofty and bright spaces, but needed to alter it drastically to make it operable for their business. There was a mezzanine in the space, with a windowless meeting room underneath and an country style kitchen sprawling along the walls, all arranged in what appeared to be an L-shaped space. Our client liked the uninterrupted row of windows, and wanted to keep it that way. Dividing the space with a wall gives a very bright and large meeting room, as well as a clean rectangular room for the rest of the program.
