"Herzog & de Meuron, together with Marge Arkitekter, propose Under samma tak (Under the Same Roof) for Göteborg's new arena district in Sweden, a future-oriented, experience-driven landmark designed to evolve with the city. The project is designed to accommodate civic life and large-scale events, integrating urban rhythm, collective spaces, and sustainable design strategies through adaptive transformation, circular construction, and ambitious climate goals."
"Under samma tak reflects a deep appreciation for Göteborg's architectural heritage, especially the city's iconic Scandinavium arena. The team proposes an inventive reuse strategy that retains half of the original structure. The existing oval geometry becomes the foundation for a new, circular main arena that expands capacity while preserving identity. By raising the arena floor, inserting a practice rink below, and adding a vast LED screen, the design transforms Scandinavium into a semi-open amphitheater capable of hosting new event formats."
Herzog & de Meuron with Marge Arkitekter propose Under samma tak as a flexible, experience-driven landmark for Göteborg's new arena district. The design centers reuse and adaptability, retaining half of the existing Scandinavium and using its oval geometry to form a new circular main arena. The proposal raises the arena floor, inserts a practice rink beneath, and adds a vast LED screen to enable a semi-open amphitheater and new event formats. Urban design responds to surrounding heights with a brick-clad plinth, generous terraces, and accessible collective spaces. Circular construction and ambitious climate goals underpin the sustainable strategy.
