Juvelen

Description

Consolis Strängbetong designed and manufactured the spectacular precast façade panels of the building. Juvelen (The Jewel in Swedish) has pushed the boundaries of how a façade element can be designed to achieve an architectural expression.

The building is constructed with a precast concrete frame and façade elements that are then visually split into a complex pattern of triangles. The pattern evokes a cut gemstone, enhanced by the reflected sunlight.

The architects’ intent for this emblematic project is that Juvelen will be one of the most sustainable office buildings in Scandinavia. Skanska, the builder, ensured that all the materials were classified as environmentally friendly. Besides, all waste produced during the construction process had to be recycled.
