Husten 01 will become a new central destination in the city of Stockholm. Offering a mix of retail, housing, and modern office space the design will transform the site into a central artery connecting the surrounding urban landscape and creating synergies between people and places.
With its strong visual presence and an opening of the block, upon completion, Huston 01 will stand as a flagship for the city’s vision to shape a closely knitted capital, rich in experience and atmosphere.
The new building complex will comprise of a combination of diverse retail, office space, and city centre apartments to ensure a vibrant and lively urban environment. The architecture captures the essence of inner Stockholm, by interpreting the characteristics of the Stockholm volumes and heights and adds a new and unique architectural expression.
The modern open glazed facade framed with light natural stone, and the setbacks of the volume will ensure a relationship with the adjacent buildings. The rounded corners set the building within a tradition of classic city centre masterpieces.
Retail areas at the lower levels connect to the city and thus present a unique opportunity for branding premium shops to create superior customer experiences. By connecting the levels and providing new alleys through the building it also provides shortcuts through the block.
Furthermore, the introduction of new urban spaces – the entrance plaza and the street pocket – will enhance the integration between the building and the city and offer new public experiences of high urban quality.
