THE MANIPULATED PERIMETER BLOCK IS CLEARLY DEFINED IN ITS FOUR CORNERS BUT OPENED
INTERNALLY AND ALONG THE SIDES. THE VIS-A-VIS WITH THE NEIGHBOR IS ELIMINATED BY
PUSHING THE SLAB IN ITS CENTER, ENSURING DIAGONAL VIEWS TO THE VAST OPEN FIELDS
AROUND. THE BUILDING VOLUME PROVIDES OPTIMAL AIR, LIGHT AND VIEWS TO ALL FLATS. ALL
APARTMENTS HAVE A DOUBLE-HEIGHT SPACE TO THE NORTH, AND WIDE PANORAMIC VIEWS TO
THE SOUTH. THE LOGIC OF THE DIAGONAL SLAB UTILIZED IN THE V-HOUSE IS BROKEN DOWN
IN SMALLER PORTIONS FOR THE M HOUSE. IN THIS PROJECT THE TYPOLOGY OF THE UNITE
D’HABITATION OF LE CORBUSIER IS REINTERPRETED AND IMPROVED: THE CENTRAL CORRIDORS
ARE SHORT AND GET LIGHT FROM BOTH ENDS, LIKE BULLET HOLES PENETRATING THROUGH THE
BUILDING.

CITY OF STOCKHOLM
UNTIL NOW THE OBSERVATORY HILL HAD ONLY ONE FACE TOWARDS THE CITY. WE SUGGEST
TURNING THE LIBRARY’S EXTENSION INTO A GARDEN LIBRARY, UNIFYING THE NEW FACILITY
WITH THE STREET ON ONE SIDE AND THE OBSERVATORY PLATEAU ON THE OTHER. WE DO THIS
BY PULLING THE HILL TOWARDS THE STREET, IN THE PROCESS CREATING A LARGE SLOP-
ING ROOF-FAÇADE, ACCESSIBLE VIA RAMPS OF DIFFERENT GRADES. THESE ARE CREATED
THROUGH A PROCESS OF CUTTING, IN TURN, PROVIDING THE WHOLE BUILDING WITH A SPEC-
TACULAR VIEW AS WELL AS GREAT INTERIOR DAY LIGHTING CONDITIONS.

THE NEW HOLMENKOLLEN HILL IS EXTENDING TRADITION… TO THE SKY! IT STRIVES TO KEEP
THE FINE BALANCE BETWEEN MAJESTIC AND SIMPLE AND EMPHASIZES THE EXISTING LAND-
MARK VALUES WHILE INTRODUCING CONTEMPORARY MATERIALS AND DESIGN.
CONCEPTUALLY THE PROJECT WORKS WITH 3 STAGES OF VISIBILITY: THE FAR-AWAY PANO-
RAMA, THE ZOOM-IN AT THE FOOT OF THE SLOPE AND THE VIEW OUT FROM THE TOP.
TO EMPHASIZE THE SILHOUETTE THE SHAPE IS SHARP AND SIMPLY CUT.
