SKÄRHOLMEN LIBRARY
In collaboration with Elin Persson we renovated a 7,534 sq ft. public library for our client: Stockholm City Cultural Administration located in a marginalized community we aimed to have sustainability and inclusivity at the heart of every decision. A curated mix of flooring materials, colours, and curtain walls creates a diverse spatial sequence with dedicated areas for different needs and ages. The children’s section received particular attention. Guided by children’s own visions, the design invites play and imagination. Low shelving and child-scaled furniture encourage parents to experience the space from a child’s perspective. Built-in reading caves, podium, and curtain portal frame the section as a world of its own. Sustainability was central throughout — 98% of all furniture was reused or upcycled, reinforcing the environmental responsibility inherent to public design.
