New Architecture: Housing, Arkitektur

The topic “Housing”, Annedalsterrassen is covered in the magazine Arkitektur, no. 2 2012.

“As an urban project, I can better understand the three apartment buildings Kjellander Sjöberg Architects has designed in the new area Annedal in Stockholm. The directional shifts of the buildings, which in plan looks like a mannerisms, is on site an obvious adaptation to the landscape….the buildings are clever, the expression shifting with the viewing angle. Distinctiveness is enhanced by the varied and rugged texture of the brick facade. It would have been fun to see these houses as a starting point for the entire city plan, which generally resort to traditional courtyard houses. Kjellander Sjöberg raises hope for a city that does not really exist, but perhaps should exist. A city that is not blind to the alternatives, which is varied and contextually anchored down to the details.”

Building Blocks, Färgfabriken

The “Building Blocks” project has now emerged as a vision of creating a common experience for all people regardless of age. A project based on the children’s experiences and their encounters with professional architects. Färgfabriken has a history of daring, testing and creating new contexts and unexpected constellations. But it has been long while since we created an exhibition where the perspective is based on children’s and adolescents’ experiences.

Working with children and young people also raises complex issues. We learn a lot and are truly grateful for all those who contribute their knowledge and expertise in children’s culture and offer advice and ideas. Our vision is a small city where the architecture is not conformal, but has the chance to communicate, be fun, exciting and unpredictable. Kjellander Sjöberg clients Forat and Akram, both 15 years old.
