The design is inspired by the site’s industrial architecture and a former cement plant. The project is a well-integrated addition to the urban fabric, with a vertical division, expressing the individual staircase units. The vision is to create a building for people of all ages – the apartments vary in size, ranging from compact youth housing to larger duplex apartments for families.
Gjutarängen has been carried out in a construction partnering environment between developer Uppsalahem, contractor Skanska, Kjellander Sjöberg and other stakeholders.
