Vällingby Centrum

K-LAB, Vällingby, Sweden

Vällingby is a town on the outskirts of Stockholm, about 20 minutes by metro. In this location, close to the metro station, on three different sites, we had the task of carrying out proposals for the construction of flat blocks. The first site was above the metro station in an existing car park. The second was above a shopping centre car park. The third was on top of a two-storey office building. We had to visit the site, carrying out an assessment of the existing structures, making a sketch of measurements in order to calculate the structures of the buildings to be placed on top of these sites. Secondly, we made a volumetric model that would adapt to each site and the existing structures. Thirdly, based on the proposed volumetry, we had to create several model floors, with the distribution of the flats and their respective vertical connections.
