Terrace Apartments in Hornsbruksgatan by Utopia Arkitekter

Housing 01
Utopia Arkitekter practice has designed an impressive projects for the Terrace Apartments in Hornsbruksgatan in the Södermalm district of Stockholm. The architects following the sentiment of their modern projects have shaped three buildings housing 29 apartment unites. Comprised of 17 terrace town houses as well as twelve apartments. Close to the Högalid Park the building itself is planned as a home to an impressive rooftop park.

The Hornsbruksgatan redevelopment scheme involves four buildings altogether – a new metro (T-bana) building and three housing blocks. The new buildings will be two to three storeys high and will include a new public rooftop park. The three existing flights of steps between the park and Hornsbruksgatan will be replaced with three new ones. The housing blocks are both beautiful and functional, at the same time presenting smart solutions to a large number of on-site challenges. In addition, the scheme presents a unique and very attractive form of housing – terrace town houses – in the heart of Stockholm. The forecourts are surfaced with brick pavers, and climbing plants will create a green façade which can eventually reach up to the park vegetation on the roofs. The separate entrances to the terrace houses, together with non-housing premises, add up to a living street environment. The façades are punctuated by bay windows, patios, atrium courts and staggered fronts, to create a varied, living impression. At several points the park will have viewing points on top of façade projections. The brick façades of the housing blocks are for the most part similar in colour to the brickwork of nearby Högalid Church. The overall pattern is broken up by patches of brickwork in various shades of colour, some of which are to be more expensively treated, e.g. with glazed brick. – from Utopia Arkitekter
