PROJECT DESCRIPTION:

Mörby Centrum is a commercial centre outside Stockholm established in the 1960's. After years of unplanned adding and reconstructing it is now in desperate need of a strong identity and a general face-lift.

In the scale of the city and the surrounding infrastructure a superimposed grid layer connects the present incoherent parts of Mörby centrum to a whole. Simultaneously different treatments of each square in the grid gives the centre a human scale and an aesthetic variation. The squares can be filled with a wide range of different materials; mirror glass, vegetation walls, transparent glass, solar collectors, fiber cement boards etc.

A new high rise building containing offices and commercial spaces presents a strong symbol for the centre. The building is clad with the same gridsystem as embosoms the rest of the centre.
