BRF Smedjan Courtyard Building and Gatehouse / Hogberg Gillner Arkitektur
Briefly

The architectural project on Tredje Långgatan aims to revive a historically rich site characterized by a blend of industrial and urban structures. The original blacksmith workshop, built in 1902, alongside its associated facades, faced significant deterioration. A 2017 zoning plan highlights the importance of preserving the existing street facade while allowing new construction in the courtyard. The primary challenge is to combine the site's historical elements with modern architectural practices, ensuring the new design praises the rich narrative of the location while providing quality housing.
The project seeks to harmonize historical architecture with contemporary design, prioritizing high-quality housing while preserving features like the original street façade that represent the past.
The existing structures reflect a mix of industrial heritage and urban evolution, prompting a careful approach to integrate new construction within the historical context of the area.
