New visuals revealed of Herzog & de Meuron's Gasklockan tower for Stockholm
New visualisations have been released of the 90-metre-high tower Herzog & de Meuron is proposing in Stockholm, to replace a 1930s gasholder.
The new images show more detailed exterior shots of the Gasklockan tower, which will be set in a landscape designed by Piet Oudolf. They also offer a first look at the designs for the interior.
The tower takes it circular shape, and its height, from a 1930s sheet-metal gasholder that previosuly stood on the site. It will be built alongside two brick gasholders that were designed at the end of the 19th century by Swedish architect Ferdinand Boberg.
Although the housing block will be circular in plan, it will have a faceted facade, giving each apartment a V-shaped plan with bedrooms on one arm and living spaces on the other.
A wildflower public park created by Piet Oudolf, the designer of New York's High Line, and LOLA Landscape Architects is planned for around the Gasklockan tower and other existing gasholders.
Construction of the block is scheduled to start this year, with the building expected to open in 2022.
Herzog & de Meuron is not the only architect designing circular-shaped block on former gasworks.
In the Netherlands, a group of cylindrical apartments designed to recall gasholders was recently completed by Mecanoo, while in London, Wilkinson Eyre has built a housing block within a trio of Victorian gasholder frames.
