Two perimeter beams, longitudinal, in reinforced concrete, lead the structure to the ends that, resting on 4 pillars, allow untying between roof and block. The sparse configuration creates the possibility for zenith lighting and integral cross ventilation while the aerial section of one of the beams that crosses the central atrium, blocks direct sunlight to the living environments, allows for sunshine in the pool and garden.

November 29, 2020 Andreas Luco 0

Notskriften. At the historic industrial area of Munktell and the Eskilstuna river lies the housing block of Notskriften. Originating from its context, an intricate and innovative residential district has taken shape. The Munktell area is characterized by large scale industrial workshop buildings, hardened streets, and brick façades displaying beautiful workmanship. Taking this vernacular as inspiration Notskriften consists of two houses of 3-4 floors incorporating modern requirements and techniques to deliver a fresh and contemporary interpretation of Munktellstaden’s characteristics. The project, in its basic structure, consists of two stacked 4 room duplex apartments where the ground floor dwelling has a small garden plot and the apartment above has a large private roof terrace.
