Sahlgrenska Life – architects presented design concept
Architects from Sweco and Arkitema presented their design concept to representatives from Sahlgrenska Academy and Sahlgrenska University Hospital on May 18. The presentation was followed by a joint workshop.
The facades of buildings 2 and 3 are characterized by straight lines with its sheet metal with intermediate sections of reddish-brown brick, which is a common material used in older buildings in the area.
The interior is designed with people’s well-being in mind. This applies to those who have their daily workplace or study environment there and temporary visitors. Access to daylight is fundamental for well-being. The light courtyard in building 2 is a way to let in more daylight and building 3 has also been supplemented with light courtyards adjacent to the facades.
On each floor, permanent workplaces are planned in rooms closest to the facade, while support functions such as storage, toilets and meeting rooms are placed in the middle of the building. This way, daylight is available for as many as possible.
The architects also talked about how the selected material and color scheme can contribute to the experience. With inspiration from both nature and the surroundings, an embracing and safe feeling is created. Material with structure is interspersed with smooth reflective surfaces and when straight lines and round shapes meet, exciting contrasts are created.
The architects will now take the outcome from the workshop and continue to work with a developed design concept. In the next project phase.
