FOJAB moves into the iconic H55 Pavilion!

The H55 pavilion, designed for the Helsingborg City Fair in 1955, becomes an architectural office. In January 2026, FOJAB's Helsingborg office will move in.

The H55 pavilion was designed by architect and designer Carl-Axel Acking for the 1955 City Fair. Three copies were built on the Parapeten breakwater in Helsingborg harbor and dismantled after the fair. In 1999 it was time for a new city fair, H99. A copy of the iconic pavilion was built on the pier and has remained standing ever since.

The pavilion is owned by the City of Helsingborg and has been rented out for various types of activities over the years. Among other things, it has been used as a restaurant, party venue and exhibition space. In recent years, however, it has been mostly empty and the city has been looking for a suitable tenant.

- We were asked by the City of Helsingborg if we wanted to move into the H55 pavilion, and of course we couldn't turn down the opportunity. It's a unique building with views in four directions, clearly visible from the city center. It will be a fantastic working environment and a perfect venue for receiving customers and organizing external events, such as our architectural salons," says Rebecca Saaby Mehlum, office manager at FOJAB in Helsingborg.

FOJAB has been in Helsingborg for 10 years. The employees work closely with colleagues in the other offices in Malmö, Stockholm and Gothenburg, but with extra knowledge of the market in northwestern Skåne, parts of Halland and Småland. The new premises will provide better opportunities for the Helsingborg office to grow.

The interior of the pavilion will be adapted by FOJAB to make it a modern, functional and welcoming office for employees, customers and visitors. Preliminary occupancy is the turn of the year 25/26.
