Malmö

An energy efficient commercial building in central Malmö that incorporates energy efficient principles and a high-performance building envelope.‍

ProjeCT Details

The design of this building balances stacked, modular blocks, creating a dynamic and evolving volume that presents a unique silhouette from every viewpoint. Located in the heart of Malmö, this energy-efficient commercial building embraces sustainability by integrating cutting-edge energy principles and a high-performance building envelope. The façade is composed of a neutral, muted palette of light materials, providing a timeless and elegant appearance in harmony with the urban fabric. The eye is easily drawn to the feature reflective copper soffit, which stands in bold contrast to the otherwise subtle façade, framing the primary entrance and serving as a focal point for the building’s identity. The recessed ground floor creates a welcoming space with open areas for pedestrians, while large expanses of glass allow for generous natural light inside. Surrounding public spaces are activated by the building’s modern geometry, which offers both openness and a sense of solidity.

Innovative shading devices and strategically placed windows maximise daylight while reducing heat gain, contributing to the building’s overall energy efficiency. The inclusion of green spaces and trees further softens the urban edge, fostering a pedestrian-friendly environment. This building not only contributes to the Malmö skyline with its sculptural form but also sets a new standard for sustainable office spaces in the region.
