WELCOME TO STENA'S NEW OFFICES IN STOCKHOLM
STENA COWORK D33
On March 6, the doors were opened to a new innovative office building in Stockholm. In the Stena-owned building Hägern Stora 16 at Drottninggatan 33, Stena Fastigheter has created its own coworking facility together with Stena Sessan and parts of Stena Recycling (including Stena Circular Consulting).
It is a completely remodeled, innovative building for Stena coworking in Stockholm, with shared offices for the three companies where the doors are always open to colleagues from other parts of the Stena Sphere for working while in the capital or to come by for a visit.
The idea came up at Stena Fastigheter’s previous office building, which was also centrally located just a few 100 meters from the current offices, where people from other parts of the Stena Sphere could book meeting rooms or just have a place to land between meetings in Stockholm.
The Hägern Stora 16 building, also known as Klarahuset, adjoins Sergels torg, the main square in central Stockholm. It is a fascinating building with plenty of history that Stena Fastigheter has had to take into account and safeguard when remodeling.
ABOUT THE BUILDING
One of the four facades which fronts Drottninggatan was originally on another building at Regeringsgatan 9. The building features Stockholm’s first curtain wall facade. A curtain wall facade is a construction much like a curtain, positioned in front of a building’s frame.
The building won the Kasper Salin Prize in 1990.
The original floors and luminaires in the small bay windows have been preserved. The meeting rooms with their white wall sections are also original. They have been taken down and carefully refurbished. The windowpanes on the other hand, have been replaced to comply with today’s sound classification requirements. The windowsills are original and have been carefully preserved. The old meets the new with new radiator covers – designed to match the windowsills.
Office colors and shapes relate to the building’s style, such as the orange glazed sections facing the stairwells. The glass block wall matches the stairwell materials.
One of the tables inside Stena Recycling’s section is made of recycled nylon socks.
All external meeting rooms are named using typical Stockholm slang.
