Sickla station house will be Sickla's first really tall building with its 23 floors. A landmark that will both stand out and blend into the surroundings. Sickla is a part of Nacka that is growing and developing rapidly. Housing, commercial properties and new infrastructure are being built here. When the new station is completed, it will be an important link between Nacka and Stockholm and travel times to and from the center will be halved.
Sickla station house offers modern office space in a very good location in southern Stockholm with only 7 minutes travel time to Kungsträdgården when the new subway opens. The station will be an important travel node in the future with a very large flow of both passengers and visitors to the district. The ground floor of the building contains a ticket hall with escalators directly down to the platforms and with a direct connection to the platforms for the Crossrail and Saltsjöbanan.
In the lower parts of the office building, co-working is planned with flexible workplaces for a modern working life, complementing the permanent workplaces in the rest of the building. This new landmark also includes services and shops, and higher up there are restaurants and meeting places.
The architecture
Sickla station house will be the new landmark in Sickla while the building connects to the surroundings and the history of the neighborhood through its character. The dark copper tone of the facade has clear links to Sickla's older industrial architecture. The verticality of the facades plays with the character of the older industrial architecture and the different heights of the staggered, stacked volumes link the new building to the heights of the existing houses in the surrounding neighborhoods. The directions of the neighborhood are captured by the angles of the different volumes and together they build the new urban spaces formed on the site.
At 115 meters above sea level, Sickla station house also gives a hint of the new silhouette of the growing city. The future tall buildings that will be built along the new metro line will be a string of tall buildings between the inner city and Nacka center.
"Sickla Stationshus is Kanozi's response to Atrium Ljungberg's and Nacka Municipality's desire for a dense, attractive city. It is a building that makes room for meetings between people and creates conditions for the workplaces and communications of the future.", Johan Casselbrant, Design Director and Founder at Kanozi Arkitekter.
