Housing in Uppsala / Jagnefalt Milton
Briefly

The Uppsala development strategically occupies half a city block in a new district, contributing to the urban landscape with 161 apartments across three distinct buildings of varying heights. The design includes health facilities on the ground floor of the taller buildings, promoting community interaction. Each structure, though differing in size, maintains a cohesive materiality with carefully crafted facades. An open block design ensures clear views through the site, fostering a dynamic relationship between the street and courtyard facades, ultimately enhancing the area’s urban character.
The development covers half of a city block facing the central square and the main street in a new district in Uppsala, establishing urban character and clearly defined spaces.
A total of 161 apartments are distributed in three buildings of six, eight and ten floors, finished with rendered facades that have a regular design and are detailed with fine plaster variations that accentuate the volumes.
The two tallest buildings share the same ground floor, containing a health center. The houses alter in size and height but are connected through a common material language.
Thanks to the open block structure, views in the depth of the site are possible while street and courtyard facades create an interplay.
