Hjorthhagen Benches Featured in Award-Winning Housing Development
2020–03–17
Designed by Malmström Edström and 02 Landscape Architects, the Viva urban housing development won the prestigious Kaspar Salin architecture award. Nola’s Hjorthhagen furniture group was chosen for the site’s landscaped gardens and community areas.
The site was developed by the Riksbyggen national housing authority and the Viva co-op association Gothenburg, Sweden. The project received a Kasper Salin award in the newly-established ‘Housing Developer of the Year’ category. The development was considered to be Sweden's most sustainable and innovative housing project at the time it was built. The award is administrated by Architects Sweden, an umbrella organisation for industry professionals throughout the country.
Products from the Hjorthagen furniture group, designed by Peter Brandt and given environmentally-friendly certification, were chosen for the development. Products such as benches, backed benches and tables in oiled oak were installed throughout the site. The development integrated elements of both environmental and social sustainability, making the site more inclusive and increasing its potential to strengthen the sense of community among residents.
