The lighting masts are a project-specific design developed for the Hjorthagen interchange. The design aims to emphasize the site’s urban qualities through creating a strong cohesive expression for the lighting system that doesn’t breach the site’s scale. The system is combining the benefits of a high-placed diffuser/reflector with low positioned luminaires, thus providing benefits for maintenance and service.

We are competing, together with international collaborators, for two different bridges in Denmark.

Frederiksholmsløbet

Together with Ramboll we take part in the design competition for a new road, pedestrian and bicycle bridge between ‘Enghave Brygge’ and ‘Teglholmen’, over ‘Frederiksholmsløbet’. This connection will become an artery of traffic flow through the new development area in the South Harbour of Copenhagen, Denmark.

Masnedsund Railway Bridge

Together with Cowi and Aarsleff we are participating in the design, planning and execution competition for civil and construction works concerning the E3005 New Railway Bridge Masnedsund. This work is in connection with the upgrading of the railway line between Ringsted and Holeby in the geographic area of southern Zealand and Lolland – Falster, Denmark.

The area on the south side of Husarviken is under transformation from being an industrial area where relatively few people have moved, into a new neighborhood with many residents and an important link in the surrounding landscape. The water becomes a border zone to nature, a transition between city and park and the bridge belongs to both sides.

The bridge starts from the north side with a base that takes brace in the zone between land and water. Over the water the bridge thins out to land lightly on the southern quayside. The abutment on the quayside is designed as part of the dock and not part of the bridge. The bridge is designed as a simple and cohesive unit, cut out of a piece, almost with no detail. The north side abutment transitions without a seam to the bridge deck flat arc shape that expresses the power of the span and the ease of the opening flap. The sides of the bridge are angled outward to catch the water reflections and give a light impression. The location of the structure in the sides of the bridge enables the design of a thin bridge deck which in turn reduces the length of the bridge and containment. The openability is made not to be at display more than in the open position. In the closed position, it is the quiet cohesive form which may hide the surprise that modern technology can produce.

Helsingborg conducts the urban development project H+ where former port areas turn into urban environments in integration with the existing city. Oceanpiren is the first developing area where new housing and offices are established in a spectacular way, close to the station. An attractive new front against the water is created.

The proposal for a new bridge to Oceanpiren is based on two grips that together gives the bridge a unique character, an efficient, functional and technical solution. The movement from the hub to the pier represents a shift from the intense and disturbing port traffic to an inviting urban area around the old dock and Oceanpiren. The constructive idea focuses on the nature of the difference and develop a bridge character where one end is more enveloping and protecting to the environment, and the other end is open and light. The colored slab forming a color stroke through the port scenery, clearly linking the two separated sections of the site.

As part of the development of the west part of Kungsholmen in Stockholm, a former industrial area changing into dense housing and office quarters, the bus depot at Hornsberg was going to replace the existing 1930s depot, now placing the depot underground, making the ground level available for the expansion of the city. A continuous façade screen wraps the extensive facility wherever it pops up. The project is now dormant.

When Rinkebystråket transformed from a street characterized by vehicular traffic into a populated street, it also changed the meaning of the bridges that cross over. The previous traffic separation is blurred and the two street levels should now work together, not  kept separate. The new bridge is an important part of the public space and in contrast to other bridges over Rinkebystråket. It is a place, not just a passage.

The design is based on lightness, as a beautiful exotic insect that has landed here, with its wings half folded up is ready at any time to take off again. The waist is generous, the legs are thin with a springy feel, and the shell is a brass colored and glittering. The bridge´s architecture is an expression of how the structural system has been formed. The supporting beam consists of a steel box with variable width and height which forms a serie of triangular volumes. The underside of the deck is broken into a number of triangular surfaces, reflecting the shape of the beam, where the beam is dense, the sides of the beam are cladded with triangular sheets perforated in a triangular pattern. The perforated sheets are illuminated from the inside, to create a warm lamp-like gleaming at the square on the lower level. The perforated sheets are openable, to enable service of the light armatures.
The sides of the bridge are covered with a transparent steel mesh and are illuminated from the top rail with a warm light. The bridge has three spans with a total length of approximately 32.3 meters. Its width varies between about 3.5 and 5.5 meters.

One of the main ideas about Valla city is that diversity will permeate the new district at all levels. Variety is sought in place of a homogeneous neighbourhood. This requires a bridge that is an object in itself. It doesn’t try to blend in and adapt to other bridges or buildings in the area, but it is allowed to stand out in material, color and shape. At the same time, the bridge should be “simple” in the positive sense of the word, it should not take over the whole water room through excessive gestures.

The proposal is a brass shimmering steel bridge with a thin deck and perforated sheet railings which both help accentuate the overall shape and contribute to the structure’s light feel. The bridge has a total span of approximately 21.5 meters and 4 meters in width.

The bridge over Varnan in Kristinehamn is a new connection in the city’s pedestrian and bicycle network, and a part of the overall design of the new city park at Svinvallen, designed by Karavan landscape architects.
The concept of the bridge is to make it “simple” in a positive sense, rather than letting the design dominate the landscape with spectacular gestures. The movement over the bridge is directed by inviting widenings at the entrance points, and by the outward angled sides at the midpoint of the bridge. An unexpected dynamic experience is created when the bridge span opens with views of the park, the water and the city.
The brownish color scheme in earth tones, make the bridge adapt to the surroundings. The contrast between the exterior and the inside of the bridge is emphasized by different shades of brown, and by a low intimate space created by light along the bridge deck. The bridge span the water in one section, and the architecture is an expression of the constructive system with sides of load bearing steel boxes, forming a flow of triangular volumes – an almost stealth like geometry. The railing emphasize the impression of triangular shapes as it appears to have a varying height that meets the sloping lines of the side beams.

Our focus is on high-quality design in the public domain! Our projects range from urban development in the concept stage to the buildings and facilities that may qualify as “commercial architecture” – terminals, stations, bridges and urban environments. The requirements for the design and operation is often dominant, but at the same time as it generated special architectural qualities. Many of the quests are the result of the first prizes in competitions and parallel assignments and we have been awarded with the Kasper Salin Prize for Arlanda Pier F, and the European Steel Design Award for Suspended ceiling in Vällingbyvägen Centre. Our clients are mainly government agencies, municipalities or publicly owned company and we are working through all phases of municipal planning, road and rail planning and until the tender and construction documents.

&Rundquist stands for the close cooperation – with our clients, with our partners, and not least within our project teams. At our office in Hammarby sjöstad in Stockholm, we are around 35 architects who work project-oriented in collaboration with landscape architects, engineers, real estate developers and other specialists. The office was started in 1993 under the name of Henrik Rundquist Arkitektkontor AB and operated during the period 1999 to 2008 under the name KHR Rundquist arkitekter ab, then co-owned by KHR Architects AS in Copenhagen.

Our focus lies on high-quality design in the public space and our projects range from urban design at the concept level to buildings and facilities like terminals, stations, bridges and urban environments. The demands on technology and function are often dominant, yet they generate unique architectural qualities. Many assignments are the result of a first prize won in competitions and parallel assignments and we have been awarded with both the Kasper Salin Prize for Arlanda Pier F, and the European Steel Design Award for the Floating Roof in Vällingby Centre and Sundsvall Bridge. Our clients are mainly government agencies, municipalities and publicly owned companies, and we are working through all stages of municipal planning, road and rail planning, all the way to specification and construction documents. From large-scale questions, in neighborhoods and complex buildings, down to the detailed design of equipment – we handle all aspects of the public space!

Under the title, PROJECTS, a selection of projects that describe the results of our work, is presented. Some are already built, some about to be realized, and some projects have not progressed beyond the early concept stage. From the large scale issues in neighbourhoods and complex buildings, down to the detail in the design of equipment – that is how we handle all aspects of public space!

Selected proposal in an invited competition for the design of a transfer node and city structure around Danvikstorg, as part of the urban development project Danvikslösen. Commissioned by Stockholm Municipality, the proposal has continued to a detail design phase, while three stations and bridges for light rail have been projected on behalf of SL.

Folke Bernadotte bridge is an important walking connection over Djurgårdsbrunnsviken, joining the northern and southern part of Djurgården, between the Museum Park and Rosendals castle. As early as 2004, The Royal Djurgården Administration took the initiative to investigate the opportunities for a bridge in this location where Karl XIV Johans floating bridge (1820-1846) and a temporary pedestrian bridge that was built for the Stockholm exhibition (1930) have historically been positioned.

The south part of Djurgården is one of Stockholm’s most popular areas and the most visited within the Royal National City Park. Both locals and tourists go there to experience the nature and the various cultural sights. Stockholm is increasingly growing, necessitating increased access to green areas. Today, the accessibility to the generous nature area in the south part of Djurgården is limited and unequally distributed. A new connection over Djurgårdsbrunnsviken will enable people to easily reach the south part of Djurgården without depending on taking the car or bus.

The design of the bridge grew out of a careful analysis of the site and surrounding landscape, the movement patterns on site and the historical context. The main idea was to span over the entire bay in a single leap, without making a large and tall construction in the delicate historical landscape. This could be achieved through a three-span, vaulted beam bridge, where the end spans are very short and the middle span extends over the entire width of the water. In accordance with maritime traffic requirements, the bridge has 3 meters sail-free height, same as the adjacent bridges.

Supports and abutments are in concrete and hidden under the ground, making the bridge look like a single arch over the water. The beam structure is designed as a truss of stainless steel that provides transparency and lightness in its expression. The construction type is modern and effective, but it also makes a reference to the older bridges in vicinity, which with their truss constructions from the 19th century were the ‘high tech’ of their time.

Together with Ramboll we took part in the design competition for a new road, pedestrian and bicycle bridge between ‘Enghave Brygge’ and ‘Teglholmen’, over ‘Frederiksholmsløbet’. This connection will become an artery of traffic flow through the new development area in the South Harbour of Copenhagen, Denmark.

Realdania, in collaboration with the City of Copenhagen, has invited five preselected teams of consultants to participate in a competition for the design of a cycle and pedestrian bridge across the inner harbor of Copenhagen, immediately north of the Langebro Bridge.

The five teams are as follows. Team 1: Arup. Team 2: Buro Happold Engineering, Wilkinson Eyre Architects, Agency ApS, Speirs + Major LLP, Eadon Consulting Ltd. Team 3: COWI A/S, Dissing+Weitling, Kragh & Berglund. Team 4: EKJ rådgivende ingeniører as, Leuchsenring &Rundquist, Svenska Teknikingenjörer – Sting AB, Vibeke Rønnow Landskab. Team 5: Tractabel Engineering, DFA Dietmar Feichtinger Architectes, Michel Desvigne Paysagiste.

The new bridge is to feature opening spans above the navigation channel and connect the western quayside where Vester Voldgade meets Christians Brygge with the eastern quayside at Langebrogade and the ramparts in the Christianshavn district. The land installations at both ends of the bridge will be integral parts of recreational urban spaces and promenades along the waterfront. The bridge should feature a simple design and light structures suited to the unique surroundings. The ambition behind the new cycle and pedestrian bridge is to create additional urban life and recreational facilities for people in Copenhagen as well as an additional link across the harbour basin. In a more general perspective the bridge is part of an ambition to develop Copenhagen as a green and sustainable waterfront city and the world’s best city for cycling.

Proposal in competition focusing on the development of the station area in Karlstad. The task is to provide suggestions on how the area around Karlstad C can develop as part of the growing city.

The main idea of ​​the proposal “Laga staden”, which was awarded with the second prize, is to transform the station area into a living part of the city’s structure and reduce the barrier effect of the busy street Hamngatan and the track area.

The proposal is based on the idea of placing a new bus terminal located west of the existing station building to decrease the heavy traffic on the rest of Hamngatan  The bus terminal and station building are linked to the Vikentunnel, which is being expanded and converted into a broad and generous city passage, which also serves as an effective exchange point between train- and bus traffic. Around the station area and its entrances, an urban square with new buildings is formed, with respect to the city’s structure and sightlines. The station area becomes a welcoming urban place in the city, both for the visitor and the city’s inhabitants!

The proposal was made in a team with Tema/Landskap, Ramböll/Trafik, samt Structor/Fastighetsutveckling.

Finalist for Årets Bygge 2015

Together with Hosper Sweden, Mandaworks and Tyréns we took part in a parallel assignment investigating new development and densifying opportunities in central Alvik.

Stockholm is growing, and the city needs to plan for new housing, parks, infrastructure and jobs for around 200,000 new residents until 2030. This means that many interests interact on a relatively limited area.

The City’s Planning Department started in 2013 a development program for Alvik, simultaneously with the Exploitation Office being commissioned for the broadening of an earlier investigation around the same area. The city is now investigating possibilities of creating an urban Alvik. Between 1500 and 3000 housing may be possible to create. The program area covers the district Alvik and parts of Tranebergsbron, Stora mossen, and Ulvsunda.

Manuals for the planning and design of station environments.
The purpose of the manuals is to provide guidance throughout the station design process, ensuring that qualitative station environments are created with focus on the travelers’ experience.

1. “The Station Manual” is a first step in guiding the planning, design and management of stations, 2. ”Station environments – design of the station with the user in mind”, is about how the different parts of a station can be designed as part of a well-functioning whole. The third part, ”The Station’s Visual Profile”, describes quality requirements and design principles for the station furniture and building parts with the purpose of creating a recognizable identity through material choice and fittings that can be easily procured, built, and rationally maintained.

Between 2007 and 2014, we have worked with Tvärbanan Solnagrenen, an extension of the tramway network in the north of Stockholm, being involved in the process from early sketches and analysis down to the detailed design of the stops.

Solnagrenen is an extension of the tramline from Alvik to Solna Station, comprising almost 7 km of new railway. The line crosses through three municipalities – Stockholm, Solna and Sundbyberg and the tracks run mainly on a separate embankment, next to major traffic routes, but also as an integrated part of the street network.

The assignment focused initially on the development of a design tender for the entire northern line, developed in collaboration with Lab71. In the second phase we carried out the detailed design of the stops Solna Centrum and Solna Station with their platforms, platform furniture, retaining walls, etc. The stations Solna Centrum and Solna station were completed in 2013-14.

Täby Centrum utvecklas med ny shopping, ett torg och nya stadskvarter. De två nya entréerna utgörs av cirkulationsplatser i två nivåer – en ny typ av gaturum som markerar ankomsten till centrum och hanterar de komplicerade trafikströmmarna.

Täby Centrums cirkulationsplatser fick både det Svensk Betongs priset ”Helgjutet” och Trafikverkets Arkitekturpris 2015.

The municipality of Österåker wants Åkersberga to develop from a suburb into a modern small town with close access to the city as well as the ocean and nature. An important part of the development will take place in the area of the city centre that will develop into an area of urban blocks of houses and public spaces of high quality.The new structure will utilise the well functioning communications, create a denser network of streets, connections and visual axes, as well as develop the channel of Åker as a recreational room in the town core.

& Rundquist, in collaboration with Metro, Sydväst, Ramböll, Büro Happold and Urbanisma, won the international competition “Linköping – the inner city grows across the river” in 2013 with a proposal for a new travel hub accompanied by urban development on the east bank of Stångån river.

The area will be part of Linköping’s city centre and will accommodate a station for the new high-speed railway Ostlänken, forming a regional node that connects all communications in an efficient way while contributing to a seamless urban expansion. The project proposes a new location for Liköping’s train station, opening for the inner city to take the leap over Stångån, which today borders the compact urban fabric to the northeast.

The competition proposal was further developed during 2014-15 to become a basis for future planning programs, this time with a focus on a railway tunnel, but with the same idea of ​​entrances on both sides of the river. These studies included the new station, the stadium area / multimodal hub with the bus terminal, the future tramway and the city structure around Stångån.

During 2018-20, the work has been extended to encompass the entire Steninge-Stångebro area in parallel with the start of location studies for the high-speed railway. Several alternative locations for the station on the east riverbank have been studied in connection with structural sketches, density calculations, planning for mixed programming, green structure, schools, sports areas, integration analysis and other.

The competition proposal was named the winner of WAF 2014 in the category Best Future Project, Infrastructure.
