We are driven by creation. With a strong idea, we create better spaces, buildings and communities.

Backaplan is a completely new part of Gothenburg's northern city center that is emerging north of the river. In the district, retail, offices, housing and services will interact to create a vibrant and dynamic neighborhood with people at the center.

Deltahuset integrates into the new urban structure and acts as a cornerstone of the district. The form and design of the building is developed to harmonize with both Gothenburg City and Backaplan. The design will serve as a visual marker from Lundbyleden while complementing the future, surrounding neighborhood structure.

Through Deltahuset, Balder is developing 19,000 m2 of rentable space, with 17 and 19 floors respectively, and the river and the new Hisingsbron bridge as viewpoints. The building is planned to be 75 meters high, with 250 parking spaces, several charging stations and an exceptionally good commuting location both by car and public transport.

Barkabystaden is one of Sweden's largest and most exciting urban development projects. Together with housing companies, businesses and landowners, the municipality of Järfälla is building and developing a completely new district with housing, workplaces, a new hospital, premises for education, hotels, trade, services, sports, health and culture - right in the middle of northwest Stockholm's future public transport hub with metro, bus square, commuter train and regional train station. Reflex has won the land allocation competition for "block 17" - Luftseglaren, with a project where Reflex designs a block with 202 condominiums, 205 student apartments and a preschool.

The green courtyard feels private while offering possible views of the bustling city life. The richly landscaped courtyard has clear zones for play and patios and provides the conditions for everyone's needs. The ground floor is characterised by openness through corner rooms. There are both accessible bicycle rooms, access to the bicycle pool and car pool.

A bicycle café/parcel service/pick-up place is strategically located in the block and becomes an "active hub" for the whole area. The residential apartments have plaster facades and brick plinths and have balconies and terraces in the best south-west facing position. The student residences and the preschool are built in wood with wooden facades and have a more rustic panel in the plinths and gables. The variation in volume and building types of the block corresponds well to the programme for Barkabystaden.

When Mimo is completed, it will be the final piece of the puzzle in what will be the entrance to Mölndal's most central location. It will develop an entire block that will become a dynamic hub for flexible and future-oriented workplaces in combination with retail and services. 

The mix of old and new buildings creates a link both to the site's history and to modern Mölndal, which is characterized by innovation and development. The facade concept is based on enlarged bricks in running bond, a material associated with the industrial identity of Mölndal.

As Marievik develops, we are designing a residential area with an elegant 32-storey building. A completely new neighbourhood is planned for Marievik cape, with space for around 1000 new homes right next to the water. The block consists of five blocks of 8-32 storeys containing around 230 apartments, a preschool, restaurant and premises.

The block opens onto Årstaviken and Norra parken, with the higher residential tower withdrawn to create curtain effect. The block's house bodies have individual façade designs and color schemes that give them their own identity and create variety around the block.

With its clear vertical motif, the high-rise gives associations to classic high-rise role models, and distinguishes itself as a darker volume dressed in bronze-colored metal cassettes with a brushed surface.

The first LEED-certified building in Sweden is located at Vasagatan 7 in the centre of Stockholm. The aim of the redevelopment of the city quarter Pennfäktaren was to transform an anonymous and closed building into one of the city's most modern office buildings with a pronounced environmental and technical focus.

The closed concrete façade was replaced by an intricate system of glass boxes and sections of stretch metal. The result was a building that reflects its surroundings during the day to change character at night to become transparent and transparent.

By the shoreline of Solna Strand, Reflex has designed the redevelopment and extensions of the blue-rated office block Nöten 5. 

Most of the area of the block is offices, of which about 4500 sq m is a newly built link linking the existing house bodies. In the street level, about 800 sq m of restaurant, café and conference rooms were created.

The four blue-labelled 1970s houses with their characterful concrete facades have been completely rebuilt with newly created ground floors and carefully renovated facades. Between the four buildings there is a new, glazed 'link building' connected to the gables of the four buildings, linking the houses together. The new 'link building' is elevated two storeys and floats in the air by means of tall columns. This opens up the connection between the approach street, the courtyards and the waterfront promenade. 

The building has facades of glass and facade glass that reflects the character of the strong concrete facades.

By lifting the body of the house via a link building, free passage towards the water has been opened so that the public can easily access and enjoy the canal.

We are proud to announce that our project Roten in Umeå has been selected as a finalist and Sweden's representative at the NBO Housing Award, where it will compete for the prize for the best housing environment in the Nordic region. 

The Roten block, designed on behalf of K2A, consists of two loft buildings with 277 student apartments and a café. The forest character of the site has been preserved in the courtyard, and the entrances to the buildings are accessed via low wooden bridges that hover over moss and blueberry bushes.

NBO is an association of eight cooperative and public housing organizations in Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden.

The winner will be announced on September 19 during a ceremony at Stockholm City Hall.

Roten could win award for best Nordic living environment

A press conference and launch ceremony was held today to present the plans for Linköping's new Djurgården district. Reflex has designed the new Jägarsoldaten block, which includes 176 new homes, premises and a medical center, on behalf of Stångåstaden, which organized the press meeting together with Linköping Municipality and the contractor Peab.

Our architects Anna Wijkmark and Philip Holm were on site in Linköping to check out the new neighborhood under construction.

The neighborhood consists of a cohesive building with different volumes, raised courtyards and heights between 6 and 13 floors. The facades are made of solid materials such as brick and slate in an earthy color scale and a subtle detailing that takes advantage of the character and properties of the materials.

Big steps forward in Linköping

Earlier today, the Reflex-designed Kv. Luftseglaren was awarded Järfälla municipality's architecture prize Byggnadsmärket at the Järfälla municipal council meeting. The prize is given to culturally and architecturally valuable buildings in Järfälla municipality.

In its explanatory memorandum, the Environment and Building Committee writes

"The buildings show a well-designed part of the urban quarter in Barkarbystaden. A coherent composition based on a convincing interplay between sharp architectural ideas and implementation.

A neighborhood well anchored on the site, both towards the adjacent street space, and towards the district as a whole.

The building volumes and building details are woven together to form a credible whole, a strong independent form with beneficial materiality, based on the traditional order.

The basic architectural elements work together in a convincing way."

The block, which was completed in 2022 and consists of 199 newly produced and Nordic Swan Ecolabeled student housing, has been developed in collaboration with K2A Knaust & Andersson Fastigheter and Credentia.

On hand to receive the award were Anna Wijkmark and Anna-Sophia Nordström from Reflex together with Erik Wijkmark and Fredrik Widerstedt from K2A.

On Tuesday, April 9th, the winner of the Golden Chair 2024 will be announced. Our interior designer and sustainability expert Daniel Svahn at Reform Arkitekter is participating for the second year in a row as one of the Golden Chair's four jury members who select the finalists and also the winner of the competition.

What trends have you seen in this year's entries?

- Compared to last year, the jury has seen a shift towards more reuse in interior design projects. This year we have seen a variety of approaches to existing buildings and methods to transform, preserve and develop for new activities, purposes or ways of working.

There has been a wonderful mix of both small and large-scale businesses, offices, restaurants and healthcare environments. Something that we would like to push for in the coming years is that no project is too small to be proposed for the award.

What consideration have you, the jury, given to reuse and sustainability in assessing this year's nominees?

- Like last year, and in general, this is very important and highly relevant - almost a basic criterion in our time and for the future. More interior designers are thinking about, and working with, reuse - which is great fun and makes our work both fun and challenging as there are so many great and smart examples that we want to highlight.

- It has worked very well! From over 40 entries, we boiled them down to 18 projects that we then visited - which makes this award a bit unique compared to other interior design-oriented awards.

- The opportunity to experience environments on site, and to have the projects presented by interested parties, is a very important part of the jury work. We have had the chance to learn about the projects in depth and the underlying process with its challenges and conditions. This has been a good basis for many long discussions within the jury.

- But now we have a result! First of all, the four nominees, but soon a winner. Although, as it sounds, being nominated for the award is actually a victory in itself. The competition has been fierce this year, which is great.

The winner of the Golden Chair will be presented at this year's edition of the Architecture Gala at Slagthuset in Malmö on April 9. Read more about the award and this year's nominees
