#21 Malmö Market hall

The old freight depot from 1898 was no more than a roofless shell when the developer decided to turn it into a market hall.

Extract from our publication News in Nordic Architecture

“A gap in the roof between the new and existing building allows daylight into the old brick facade, while the facade cladding of weathered corrugated steel echoes the industrial environment which has historically dominated the district.”

“The resulting building imitates the gable silhouette of the existing building.

#19 Indoor activities

As the days get shorter and the weather colder it is time to explore the activities and architecture of indoor sport facilities.

Extracts from our latest publication News in Nordic Architecture

 

Ørestad Ice Ink
“The ice rink is uniquely located in Copenhagen in a dense urban area with facades facing public institutions, public parks and the new arena. The building’s facade is characterised by glass, concrete and wood. The roof has green planting and solar cells.”

Thorvald Ellegaard Arena
