Gasklockan – a new landmark in Stockholm

Herzog & de Meuron and Oscar Properties are co-creating a new landmark in Stockholm: Gasklockan. Gasklockan is Herzog & de Meuron’s first project in Sweden. With its sparkling, glass-inspired villa architecture 90 metres above ground, in a landscape created by Piet Oudolf, this new residential tower will provide a unique experience, not only for its residents, but for the whole city. The new building combines public areas with customised residential services in a manner never before seen in Stockholm.

Gasklockan is situated in the urban district of Norra Djurgårdsstaden. The new residential tower, raised on a hill, replaces a former industrial gas holder from the 1930s that for many decades supplied the city with energy. Just like the old gas holder, the basic shape of Gasklockan is cylindrical and has cuts in the floorplan to bring light into the building.

This new architectural solution results in V-shaped apartments with living rooms in one part of the V-form and bedrooms in the other part, offering spectacular panoramic views over Stockholm, the landscape and the archipelago. The interior concept in Gasklockan is characterised by pure and strong materials like plaster, stone and glass. Industrial, but at the same time warm and tactile. The kitchen has been designed and built as a standalone furnishing, and the same applies to the bathroom commode. Uniquely crafted solutions enhance the feeling of living in a villa high up in the air.

Gasklockan offers more than 300 apartments of different sizes with penthouse apartments on the upper levels and a common roof terrace at the top. The central void extends the full height of the tower and provides a spatial and visual link throughout the tower. A curved path will surround the building, providing calm spaces where people can meet, enjoy the new park or move ahead to the residential tower. The ground floor, with its magnificent atrium, will offer everything from a café, a deli and office space for creative businesses to customised solutions and services for the building’s residents.
