from work to play exploring the preservation of the industrial building and its reactivation through adaptive reuse

Industrial heritage often presents a unique challenge within the heritage and conservation discourse as its significance has been somehow recognized only in the last 50 years and its value is still frequently being dismissed. The question is also how do we approach their preservation as these usually large-scale buildings were mainly made to accommodate machinery, not human beings?

Heritage preservation in general does not have one size fits all solution. Even though many may argue there is a preferred approach, which can often be seen in institutionally protected “monuments”. It is typically to maintain the objects and do only the necessary, minimal interventions. This often makes them objects that cannot be interacted with but that we passively view while listening to their story that was curated by someone else providing a set narrative.

Industrial heritage can here provide more interesting opportunities for how to approach the preservation of a building. These were once places of work that people interacted with daily, and some may still remember them being in use. They were never intended as untouchable monuments but as functional buildings, always meant to change depending on the current needs. So, their new evolution and the idea of their change, even if just subtle, may feel like a more organic part of their life.

Using the M-verkstaden in Gamlestaden, a former machine repair workshop for the SKF, built in the early 1900s, and situated in the heart of SKF’s complex, as a site of investigation, this thesis aims to look at the industrial heritage as valuable evidence of its time that can be used to inform and shape its new future. spring 2023 | master‘s thesis direction: matter space structure see more here

Tile designs are a result of pattern explorations based on the brick patterns and ornaments found in the facade of the building.

They are a new element inspired by the building and its already existing elements and colours.

master‘s thesis

Despite the unity of the facades, interior of the building is somehow heterogeneous and every room has its unique atmosphere and visual identity. My goal was to preserve this individualities providing a new experience entering into another space.

examples of the reused elements Largest space in the building contains a lot of elements and machinery previously used to move around objects. These elements are preserved and reused as a possible playground parts.

ringön residency housing exploring alternative living space, flexibility, and self-building

Using a warehouse in Ringön, I wanted to explore alternative options for housing. Proposing questions like “What is it a living space?”, “How flexible can housing be?” and “What happens when architect leaves the design and lets inhabitants “build it themselves?”.

In my project I propose a simple timber constructions so the future inhabitants are able to build structures themselves as they need or want.

Design is based on a grid 1200x1200mm that enables to fill the whole warehouse and avoid existing trusses and other structures.

Only intervention proposed to the building itself are roof windows necessary to bring in the daylight while keeping the space visually separated from the outside. They are facing north for the most stable light.

Project is designed as an imagined starting point of creating an alternative housing space that inhabitants could build themselves and further development is left for speculation.

orust market hall transformation project

The dairy central in Vräland on Orust was first built in the 1930‘s and has since been remodeled several times. Even if the Dairy has been closed for many years it still holds a place in the memory of the inhabitants of Orust. By interviewing some of the inhabitants, we realised they are missing a meeting point and a place for the local small businesses to collaborate. Our aim for this project is to create a market hall for local producers where they have the opportunity to develop their business. Through working with co-sharing and flexible areas we hope to achieve a space that works over the year and provide new opportunities both for the inhabitants and visitors of Orust.

social and cultural centre stvolínky, czech republic

Design of a social and cultural centre as one of the buildings within the restoration of the defunct farmyard in Stvolínky near Česká Lípa. The new building respects the location and dimensions of the original building. It is designed as an elongated ground floor building with a sloping roof and a brick facade. The cultural and social centre is to serve mainly as a meeting place for all generations. It consists of two clubrooms, a cafe and a hall. Providing a space for various events and activities to take place.
