Valpen consultation open

The Valpen 3 scheme consultation is open until 7th August and has been featured in the local newspaper Eskilstuna-Kuriren. The project, being developed by Kjellander Sjöberg in collaboration with Kruhsberg Fastigheter and Urbio, is located in the ‘Väster’ district in central Eskilstuna and will deliver housing, offices, shops, restaurants, a hotel and elderly care. It is designed with a wide array of façade expressions, varied massing and heights to respond to the richness and diversity of the surrounding culturally valuable historic environment. Relocating the existing Postnord’s facilities, the proposal comprises three new blocks, aligned with the council’s vision for the ‘Väster’ district, to create a vibrant, integrated neighbourhood and an attractive gateway to Eskilstuna.

What can we do right here, right now? (Hope from Wood blog article)

The Museum of Finnish Architecture has published a blog article written by Stefan Sjöberg, based on his lecture ‘Adaptive Use: How to use the already built as a resource’ given in November 2021 as a part of the Hope from Wood Discussion Series. The text stresses the importance of immediate action and attempts to address the climate crisis in the everyday activities. It offers reasoning regarding challenges and possibilities through highlighting essential principles for recycling and resource-conscious construction, presenting KS’s Gjuteriet transformation project as an example. Embracing the utilisation of the existing and striving to do as little as possible that may harm our planet, the article introduces a methodology that promotes projects that are fundamentally sustainable.

‘The choice of materials for any new construction must be based on what is available locally to minimise impact on the climate. This intrinsically defines a vocabulary and a tectonic language, a format and framework of specific conditions, rather than giving a total freedom for one’s vision. More ethics, less aesthetics.’

Hagastaden Design Code

The City of Stockholm has published a new Design Code for Hagastaden East, a rapidly developing district where KS, in collaboration with Humlegården, has developed a residential block inspired by the classical 19th century urban typology and the traditional brick architecture of Vasastaden. Previously dominated by unused land and infrastructure, the area on the border between Stockholm and Solna is being transformed into a green vibrant neighbourhood.

The masterplan proposal for Hagastaden East was presented in a public hearing for review in Q4 2021 and the development is expected to be completed by 2030.

Villa Visuri featured in Residence magazine

Villa Visuri, drawn by Kjellander Sjöberg in 2017, has been featured in the September issue of the Residence Magazine. The villa is located on the fringe of Gävle archipelago, designed to work both as a home for the family as well as a beautiful environment to take photographs of interior products by the family-owned business. The point of departure was the unique location of the site. The clear and simple architecture of two connected building volumes in cedar wood around an L-shaped courtyard, discretely placed in the topography, is intended as a contrast to the pristine nature. The building and the courtyard face the sea to the east, providing a view over the archipelago. The form, sightlines and vistas connect the interior spaces to the surroundings.

Venice Next, FORM

This year’s curator of the Biennale has requested architecture from the front. But the team behind the Nordic Pavilion doesn’t seem to take the theme seriously.

“The initiator behind the Swedish exhibition The Forests of Venice has taken the matter seriously. The architect office Kjellander Sjöberg, the building company Folkhem and the curator Jan Åman put wood as a sustainable building material into a context, more exactly the innovative history of Venice – the sinking city that was rescued from the swamp death by millions of trees.”

The strees is the city’s main space, Arkitektur

Stefan Sjöberg sheds some new light on the street: As cities grow denser, we need to approach the streetscape in a completely new way. We must see beyond static zones and regulations, says the architect Stefan Sjöberg, who calls for mixed-use streets which are generous and open for all. In new and dense neighborhoods, there isn’t always enough space for parks, football pitches or youth centers. We simply need to make use of what we have got.

The future is now, Arkitekten

The article discusses innovative technological tools that are available to architects and designers, enabling design solutions that almost sound like science fiction!

Kjellander Sjöberg’s CEO, Mi Inkinen and partner Ola Kjellander, discuss the opportunities that 3D technology offers their industry.
“Renders are one thing, but everyone knows that they can be manipulated. Being able to show a physical model in the early stages to clients and politicians is an advantage. Simultaneously it enables us to experiment in a different way than you can on a screen. “says Mi.

Both Ola and Mi believe in the 3D-printer as a tool which can regain some of the architect’s lost authority. When you can print out parts of the building itself, you are no longer dependent on subcontractors’ too often mediocre stock range.

The new urban life, Dagens Industri, Weekend

Kjellander Sjöberg’s Lena Viterstedt – partner / creative director and Saki Azodi – communications / architect, discuss the urban density of Stockholm and new forms of urban life in the city, in DI Weekend no. 12-2015.

With soaring housing prices, the four walls of homes are increasingly pressed into a bare minimum, relocating practical tasks out to communal spaces. “It will become more common for residential buildings to have shared workshops, car pools or roof gardens that for example, can supply a restaurant located in the same building. This facilitates for increased interactions amongst residents, providing other forms of values, which makes up for the smaller flats.” Explains Lena Viterstedt.
