Torsgatan 26 - a new vibrant neighborhood in the heart of Stockholm
The Sabbatsberg 24 property is located in one of Stockholm's most central locations along Torsgatan. Until March 2016, the property was used as Stockholm Vatten's head office. The building was designed by architect Ferdinand Boberg and was completed in 1906 as an administration building for the Gasworks, which was later transferred to Stockholm Vatten.
Castellum acquired the property in spring 2017 and the ambition is to develop Torsgatan 26 into a completely new meeting place in Stockholm, a destination with international appeal in a unique environment where historical values meet modern innovation.
FOJAB arkitekter has been involved in the acquisition process and is now working on concept work, program and system documents, tenant sketches, etc.
- It is an incredibly exciting project with a high level of ambition. The building is built in the Art Nouveau style with fantastically well-preserved details. The focus is therefore on refining and highlighting the qualities of the property and looking at its history and origin. To support the project, we are collaborating with a building antiquarian," says Jens Larsson, the architect in charge of the project.
The property will contain premises grouped around several public courtyards. The idea is that the block will be opened up towards Torsgatan to make the new courtyards accessible to visitors and businesses. New fantastic places will be created in this historically valuable environment.
