FROM SHELLFISH TO PADEL
REPURPOSE OF TEMPORARY MARKET HALL TO ÖSTERMALMSHALLEN PADEL Author: Tengbom Photos: Felix Gerlach, www.felixgerlach.se
In one of the biggest upcycling projects in Sweden, the temporary market hall from Stockholm (Östermalmshallen) was given a new lease on life. The building was disassembled and shipped to Mölnlycke, and rebuilt as a padel hall. Since then, padel courts have replaced the fish and shellfish counters, but the exclusive feel remains intact. The wood-panelled walls with a visible structure create that sense of exclusivity, for a result that is far from the standard tin boxes that house many padel halls around Sweden. The locker room floors and walls are lined with big, beautiful terrazzo tiles, while the restaurant and bar offer views of both the lake and the padel courts.
