This is my first post on Swedish development. This high rise residential project is designed by the Danish architects C. F. Møller. The Alviks Torn (Alviks Tower) is a 20,000 m2 project, located in Alviks Strand (Beach), in the Swedish capital of Stockholm. The project is from a 2008 competition, for which the Danish architects received a first prize.
From the architects:
Alviks torn is a sculptural housing complex designed to bring identity to the district - and thereby, to Stockholm. The site lies in a prominent location towards the archipelago, and forms a transition zone between the city and the landscape, which has inspired the architecture. The development - a fractured block of approximately nine storeys and a landmark 21-storey tower divided into two parts - draws its shape and lines from the steepness and structure of the mountains bordering the lake Mälaren.
The form secures each residence a maximum of daylight and view. At the same time, the solution provides free areas which can be used as squares or open spaces – such as a viewing level near the water, and a central square oriented towards the city. The open spaces unite the life of the city with transparent, public-oriented areas at street level.
