Hantverkaren is a residential block developed in collaboration with Serneke and Magnolia Bostad with Kontrast responsible for the architectural design from concept design to the construction documentation phase.
The project forms part of Södra Sarvträsk, a large-scale urban development in Nacka Municipality with a planned minimum of 1,500 dwellings. The Södra Sarvträsk development comprises 220 residential units, supported housing, shared community facilities, an underground parking structure, and a communal courtyard. The project is located at the interface between urban development and surrounding natural landscapes, seeking to mediate between density and proximity to nature.
The block is subdivided into several distinct building volumes in order to reduce perceived scale and establish a varied urban structure. While unified by the use of timber as the primary façade material, each volume is given a specific architectural identity through variations in cladding typology, orientation, and material treatment.
One façade employs traditional wooden shingles combined with a stone plinth; another features timber paneling arranged in alternating directions (thermal treated for durability), referencing early 20th-century construction traditions; and a third volume is clad in charred timber with cedar pilasters and a dark brick base.
The charred timber façade is based on the Japanese technique Shou Sugi Ban, which enhances material durability and resistance to moisture, biological degradation and decay while contributing a deep black-brown chromatic expression. The vertical bricks that form the base are structured in vertical stacks to mimic column elements that carry the wooden façade.
The shingle building is designed with the same wooden shingles for both the roof and the façade. The encounter with the stone plinth is shaped as a dress that’s drops over the stone facade creating an unexpected detail while protecting it from rainwater.
Together, the differentiated façades contribute to a nuanced streetscape and support the project’s role in reinforcing the emerging urban identity of Orminge.
