A new metro station building, offices, and restaurant. ThamVidegård is working on a project to replace an old and run-down metro station building and electrical substation with an innovative, environmentally friendly, mixed-use building.
The new building will feature activities such as a restaurant, café, and shops at street level, alongside a glass-house restaurant with outdoor dining on the roof terrace. The existing metro station and ticket hall will be refurbished and integrated into the new structure. A new lift from the ticket hall to the roof will provide improved accessibility to Högalidsparken and the adjacent church. Offices are situated on two floors between the street and roof levels.
A generous roof terrace connects to the levels of Högalidsparken. The park’s greenery is extended and integrated with the roof terrace, forming a visual green link between the street and park levels. The building will be constructed using energy- and resource-efficient materials, with an exterior characterised by large glass windows and natural solid wood.
With the metro station located directly beneath the building, conditions for achieving high energy efficiency are excellent: every train passage pushes large volumes of 18-degree air through special ventilation shafts, which can then be utilised for both heating and cooling through heat exchange technology. Furthermore, the transformer substation generates significant heat. The objective is to cover the building's entire energy requirements.
The project will add new public activities along Hornsbruksgatan and improve accessibility to Högalidsparken. The aim of the area's transformation—which also includes new housing and improvements to the park in relation to the church—is to contribute to a vibrant urban street environment with several new venues.
