This multistorey building is much more than a car park. In the new district of Ulriksdal in Solna, Gatun Arkitekter has designed a new landmark: an eight-storey car park that also hosts a gym and offices on the top three floors. Developing a neighbourhood from scratch allows architects to design more functional buildings and build more sustainable cities.
Consolis Strängbetong has delivered the frame of the building. Precast elements also contribute to the structure’s beauty by marking the separation between the two volumes, which creates a nest feeling to the upper floors. The facade is covered by a playful pattern made of gold anodised aluminium sheet. The parking garage has about 475 cars, and the top three floors hold around 3,000 m².
