vallingby parkstad in stockholm, sweden by 3XN


danish firm 3XN have won the competition for vallingby parkstad - a residential development
in stockholm, sweden.

the building’s curved design embraces the area and the lively shaped balconies opens up
the structure towards the surroundings thus raising the park up in the air. the dense city
structure at the base adds activity at eye level and life thrives on active roof tops
and flowering balconies.

the area’s traditional abc-structures are functional and angular marking a clear contrast
to the green park. as an attempt to break this pattern, the new building is raised softly from
the ground as a human movement. the north facing façade is smooth and plain, however
towards the south and the west the structure is curved. the design contributes to minimizing
the building’s shadows. the tower's wave-like form shifts between floors varying in shape.
