New headquarters for Mölnlycke Health Care in GoCo Health Innovation City.
The new headquarters will accommodate about 800 employees and will be Mölnlycke Health Care's new hub with activity-based workplaces and space for lab environments.
The headquarters consists of a family of building volumes at different heights with a warm character and identity. The building is aligned with GoCo's master plan which is focused on human scale and street life while being designed to represent Mölnlycke's values, vision and needs.
With a size of about 16,000 square meters, the office space is coordinated around two different atriums with two different characters. A more outward-looking and welcoming atrium, and a contrasting atrium that focuses more inward towards the business for internal functions and activities.
Walkways and footbridges complement the horizontal flows of the building, while creating life in the atrium and supporting interaction. The glass roof and glazed facades fill both atriums with natural daylight and provide a generous sense of space and well-being to the surrounding workspaces. The glazing also provides a nice visual contact with both the exterior and interior architecture and activities.
A sun-shielding wooden facade system, which varies in the different building volumes, gives a unique character to the building's appearance, while the sun protection plays an important role in the building's energy performance. Mölnlycke's new headquarters will be certified to the highest environmental rating of Platinum under LEED.
