Dockums, main model

Abstract

Right by the old Dock in Malmö, Region Skåne has got an office building. The new building was to interact with the surrounding buildings. These have a horizontal alignment in the facade expression and protrusions one the corners, which gives the building its direction and dynamism. To stabilize the "space", the new quarter has been designed with a more direction-neutral expression. The materials and colours were adapted from the surrounding. The slated outdoor floor has a pattern inspired by the facades' window installation. Between the slate slabs, there are wide joints with moss and sedum plants. The courtyard, which is located on the terrace floor, is a meeting place with standing tables and seats in the sun.
