Like a shimmering green rock, Olivin will shine as one of Stockholm's most attractive office buildings. After parallel assignments, FOJAB was commissioned to design the office building together with Skanska.

The Lindhagenskvarteren district in north-west Kungsholmen is one of the last major developments in the inner city of Stockholm. The development of Hornsberg involves over 5,000 new homes and 350,000 square meters of commercial space. The area will be linked to the urban structure of eastern Kungsholmen and previously separated islands of buildings will be brought closer together.

This is where the new Olivin office building plays an important role. When the triangular plot with Essingeleden on one side, Lindhagensgatan on the other and residential buildings on the third side is now being developed, a missing piece of the puzzle is finally in place. Olivin repairs the street space and strengthens the esplanade character of Lindhagensgatan with living facades on both sides.

Olivin will be a clear target point with content that attracts both professionals and visitors and creates new flows in the city. Olivin is a building for work, socializing and recreation with workplaces, social areas, a sauna and roof terraces. The entrance floor invites people along Lindhagensgatan with public spaces on the ground floor. The offices start one level up but trickle down to the ground floor with shared spaces and activities that create an active building and a safer street space.

The building's design is inspired by the green stone olivine and its angular, slightly sharp shape. The prism as a geometric figure recurs in all scales, in folds and reliefs on the facade and in the division of the 23,000 square meter volume into several smaller units. The building is higher towards Essingeleden, while stepping down towards the small-scale development to the southeast. The corners are cut to create a more inviting form that better relates to Stockholm's classical building order. The facade of shimmering green zinc and the glazed ceramics of the plinth floor catch the light and create a variation over the day and contribute to the overall image of a monolith. A green rock.

Olivin will be environmentally certified according to LEED Platinum. Parts of the frame are planned to be built in wood. The building will be ready for occupation in 2026.
