Mobilia
FOJAB, together with Jais arkitekter, has been commissioned to transform Mobilia into a vibrant urban quarter, as part of Malmö's growing inner city. In 2010, a new zoning plan came into force, which enables the future development of an additional 35,000 m² for trade, service, housing and parking for about 650 people.
The word collage is the key word in the design; the facades are detailed material compositions that link the present with the history of Mobilia - Malmö's oldest shopping center. The variation of different red bricks connects to the area's brick tradition, which in interaction with the newly built parts and the preserved buildings gives a unique and strong identity.
The design provides an urban character on a human scale and with experiential spaces. Based on the urban character, new streets, cycle paths and squares are created around the new buildings.
The entire project has been Breeam certified.
