Henriksbergshamnen in Stockholm, once a busy waterside industrial area, has gradually been transformed into a hub for artistic practices and small-scale production. It is now set to be redeveloped into a residential area.
This degree project aims to preserve some creative spaces within the framework of the site’s planned demolition and redevelopment, particularly in one of the lesser-known buildings designed by early 20th-century architect Cyrillus Johansson, which will be retained in the new plan. To accommodate public access through the building, a series of spatial sequences that have evolved over time have been further developed. Materials and building elements from the site and nearby structures, set for demolition, have been inventoried for repurposing to facilitate these changes. The result is the creation of studios for three artistic practices that have continued operating despite the planned redevelopment, as well as a meeting space for visitors and locals.
