^^ yeah, well but how to get a elevator big enough to transport the modern fat Swede in a 30-40cm wide tree? ;)

Actually it is the least fat nation in Europe and the only one getting fitter so maybe they can do it. They are also really innovative tech-wise, they'll think of something...

@ ramblersen: i know, i just wrote fat swedes since its in Sweden. If it was in Denmark i would write fat Danes, if in Norway i would write fat Swedes. :P

@ Atlantica: yeah, well they probably have a easier way than to climb up or fly for that matter. Guess they just removed them from the rendering since i guess it didn't look that spectacular! Guess there will be some form of ladder, and with todays safety issues it might be a pretty big and ugly ladder. :)

Never heard of a rope ladder? :dunno:

Why would a 300 pound whatever wanna go up a tree?
Have they no homes to stay in! ;)

Now this is simple, if you really want to stay in a tree, you will simply have to climb the latter. But how will they avoid requirements for handicapped availability, i'm guessing their rights are law-based as in Norway.

Hmm i Luleå? Knappast troligt med nimbyismen som råder i den staden. Men visst kan man väl hoppas att det blir av!

^^ It shouldn't be a problem to get that one built, since it's located in an Industrial area and the only people that live within a kilometer from it are students (including myself) and they don't really have anything to say about anything...

Looks pretty cool though, and it would be pretty cool to see another big building in that area.

Mer höghus till Sverige!!

This is the new plan for the station area and WTC in Växjö. As always in Växjö the nimbys make their best effort to delay the project in any possible way. The city council is not famous for quick action so the best hope for actually buildings is set to 2011(maybe never)

Does anyone know anything about it?

^^ I read about it when it was first announced about a year ago or so. Would be great if tiny Bollnäs could get a decent highrise, but I don't expect too much of it sadly.

A bit of excitement in the scanian town of little Hörby!

The small town will get their first highrise ever.
It will consist of eight floors and 41 or 42 appartments depending on how the top floor will be done.

Earlier it has only existed at the highest 3 floor buildings in Hörby according to one of the sites I have linked to (in other media it says 4 floors)
well anyway I suppose eight floors will be something that really sticks out for them! :)

Not sure if this has been discussed before, but in Åhus in the southern province of Skåne, this building has been proposed. A 12-story hotel shaped like a bottle, and if it looks familiar it's because it's the shape of the famous Absolut Vodka bottle, and Åhus is where that brand is being produced.

Från kommentarerna under artikeln:

"Det är ingen idé att att ens diskutera detta projekt för det kommer aldrig att bli verklighet och det förstår alla vi som har lite vet och sunt förnuft innanför pannbenet! Det är för stora risker med att bygga en sådan stor skyskrapa i Luleå, man kan inte bygga en sådan stor skysprapa på ren spekulation, så enkelt är det! Man måste komma ihåg att Luleå är inte New York eller Malmö!"

När folk nämner Malmö i samma mening som New York och "bygga stora skyskrapor på spekulation" så vet man att det är riktigt riktigt illa. :lol:

Herregud vad många idioter det finns i detta land.

Visar bara att personen är en realist. Turning Torso ruinerade som bekant HSB. Det finns ingen ekonomisk rimlighet att bygga så höga hus i mindre städer.

^^ Ja, Turning torso är ju ett enda stort misslyckande alltså.

Nej, men ekonomiskt var det det ett misslyckande för HSB. Ordföranden i HSB Malmö fick gå och det gick inte att sälja lägenheterna.

Håller med De_Gothia. Otroligt orealistiskt med en 44-våningsskrapa i Luleå. Skyskrapor i all ära, men det är fortfarande ekonomiskt omöjligt.

Håller med De_Gothia. Otroligt orealistiskt med en 44-våningsskrapa i Luleå. Skyskrapor i all ära, men det är fortfarande ekonomiskt omöjligt.

Ja detta projekt i Luleå verkar mest vara ett reklamjippo för att väcka uppmärksamhet. Visst kanske det byggs ett höghus på platsen men det blir nog inga 44 våningar, kanske 15 i bästa fall och det får vi väl i alla fall hoppas att det går igenom...

Även jag håller med om att det inte är realistiskt att bygga ett 44:avåningshus med spekulation som grund. Höghuset i sig kan nog vara ett riktigt bra idé, särskilt om gatuplanet utformas smart, men pengarna bör finnas där innan spaden kommer i jorden. hur kan detta lösas? Sök upp pengar och se om det finns villiga investerare (som har råd med att det inte blir nån succé finansiellt) och se till att kommunen i förväg drar tydligt tar ställning FÖR att tillåta så höga hus på vissa platser. Se alltså till att skapa möjligheterna först, dra inte igång nått prestige-projekt för chefen för Folkets Hus.

I guess it's a brick facade because the surrounding buildings have it, if that's an excuse. In any case, it looks really horrible :ohno:

It is those typical highrises you see when small cities and towns choose to build a high building, well even in some larger cities isn't it?

I second that. :ohno: It's really heartbreaking to see this kind of highrise project where the opportunity of a vertically large scale building is being, not only thrown away, but turned into a counterproductive example of highrises by a really ugly design. This will only give the nimbys "water on their well" in their argumentation of highrises as an uglifying element in the contemaporary urban context.

Rule number one: If something's butt ugly - don't make a big thing out of it.

Rule number two: If something's big - don't make it ugly.

Here are two new high-rise projects in Karlstad.

These two high-rise buildings will be situated in the inner harbor - an expansive part of Karlstad only some 100 m from downtown. They will harmonize well with the existing high-rises in and close to the inner harbor: Kaffeskraporna (45 & 35 m, Löfbergs Lila coffee roasting factory and office), Vågmästaren 2, 3 & 12 (residential buildings, 36 m, 12 stories, built in 2000 and 2007) and the old watertower in Herrhagen (32 m, nowadays residential).

The selling of the flats has already started and the construction is to start in fall/winter 2010.

Bryggudden, Karlstad

(Previously picture, submitted by Boscorelli, is taken from the architectural competition by Mondo arkitekter. However, Wingårdhs arkitektkontor won the competition so the design is rather different).

Height: 51 m
Floors above ground: 19
Status: Approved
Construction start: fall/winter 2010/2011
Usage: Mainly residential (restaurant/coffee bar in the base floor)

This residential building will be the tallest building in Karlstad after the 58 m tall cathedral, Karlstad domkyrka. The flats are sold as “ägarlägenheter” and are considered to be the most expensive in Karlstad (prices from 2.6 million up to 7.8 million SEK).

What about the height for the bryggudden highrise, is it the same as the other proposal?

The first proposal was 57 m (I think your submitted rendering is based on that). But the leading politican in Karlstad (S+V+MP) had to compromise due to Miljöpartiet, thus the height was reduced with 6 m to 51 m.

Week interest delays construction start of Bryggudden.
I hope it's not too week so it won't get built in the end.



Bryggudden, Karlstad

Height: 51 m
Floors above ground: 19
Status: Approved
Construction start: fall/winter 2010/2011
Usage: Mainly residential (restaurant/coffee bar in the base floor)
Architect: Wingårdhs arkitekter AB
Builder: Uddprojektet Ett AB (Löfbergs Lila Fastigheter AB)
Webpage: http://www.bryggudden.com/

http://193.15.201.227/web/bryggudden.nsf/images/hoghuset_1.jpg
This residential building will be the tallest building in Karlstad after the 58 m tall cathedral, Karlstad domkyrka. The flats are sold as “ägarlägenheter” and are considered to be the most expensive in Karlstad (prices from 2.6 million up to 7.8 million SEK).

Tidningen NWT berättar idag att byggstarten skjuts upp till nästa år på grund av svagt intresse. Det skulle bli ägarlägenheter, men endast 16 av de 68 lägenheterna har preliminärbokats. Nu ska det, enligt NWT, istället bli bostadsrättslägenheter och ägaren ska räkna om kalkylen.

Det är Gert Wingårdh som har ritat huset som har en tänk byggtid på 18 månader.

Highrise Skellefteå

The moderate party in Skellefteå will on friday submit a motion to build the worlds largest timber structure highrise with 20 floors.

Andreas Löwenhöök lämnar under fredagen in en motion till kommunfullmäktige som handlar om att kommunstyrelsen ska ges i uppdrag att utreda förutsättningarna för att uppföra världens högsta trähus i Skellefteå. Tanken är att trähusprojektet ska finansieras helt av privata investerare.

Trähuset behöver vara cirka 20 våningar högt för att det ska bli världens högsta. Ett trähus på 16-17 våningar planeras i Kirkenes, Norge. Det finns också en 13 våningar hög träbyggnad i Arkhangelsk, Ryssland

http://www.fastighetochbostadsratt.com/trastad-2012/moderaterna-vill-ha-varldens-hogsta-trahus-i-skelleftea.aspx

^^Someone should send them a message. The building in Kirkenes was earlier this year rereleased with 20 floors!:D

Well it says 'cirka 20 våningar' so that might mean 22 floors too.
We might see a highrise battle then! And if the aim is to build the highest one, of course they won't build it less.

There already is one 22 - floorer in Vilnius. However, i am not sure, whether it is all made of wood, though. :lol:

^^Competition would be cool! We can have our own version of Arabia's/China's worlds tallest building fight:D

The building specified here seems to be a bit uncertain yet, though. I wouldn't be hoping too much before we see an actual investor and some real scethces:)

^^

No it is really early stages but you've gotta start somewhere.

I might be that Skellefteå want to sell themselves a wood building city or something, I don't know? They are already building northen europes largest wooden 'snedstagsbro', what ever that is in english?

Thank you for the explanations. I hope that design will be interesting. :)

Highrise in Östersund

Green light given by the government* to (Norrlands) northern Swedens highest building.
Wow one might think, a really high building then, but it's only 16 floors and the dispute about it has taken 3 years to solve.

*In the article is says regeringsrätten but I think it's the government.

Nice innitiative, but sad design, to be honest. :(

Yeah one can only hope that the look of it will be updated after the 3 year long wait! :)

There are some pictures from different angles here (http://op.se/ostersund/1.2418256-hoghuset-i-valhall-pa-nytt-under-luppen). They indicate it will be white, and it does look slightly less offensive from the other directions. Still, it could have been a lot better.

Has this been displayed here before? It's Chabo, the new student housing on Chalmers University Of Technology. The highest block is 13 storeys.

Who's behind these?
They kinda resemble something being built in Stockholm at the moment but higher, which makes one wonder if it has then been drawn by the same architect?
And which building could it then be? ;)

Förtätning av kvarteret Hägern
Luleå

At the program stage 2011-02-15 - 2011-03-08

230 apartments.

Planeringens syfte
Syftet med planarbetet är att förtäta, försköna och utveckla det befintliga bostadskvarteret Hägern i Luleå.
Genom tillbyggnad och nybyggnad skapas nya hyresrätter. Detta kommer att bidra till att fler får möjlighet att bo i centrum, samt att Luleås bostadsutbud kompletteras med nya lägenheter med närhet till vatten och rekreation. Planprogrammet ger förutsättningar för att bygga på ett av de befintliga bostadshusen med två våningar, och att bygga tre nya punkthus. Härigenom tillskapas ca 230 lägenheter. I planarbetet ingår att se över uterummen kring de befintliga bostadshusen i kvarteret och på så sätt bidra till att de redan boende får en bättre närmiljö. Diffusa grönytor och ineffektiva hårdgjorda ytor ska ersättas med bearbetade och väl definierade grönytor, uterum och entrésituationer samt effektiva och tilltalande parkeringslösningar för markparkering. En stor del av parkeringen kan också placeras i ett nybyggt parkeringshus på en lämplig del av tomten. I landskapsgestaltningen bearbetas kvarteret som en helhet. Vid de tillkommande punkthusen skapas en ny plats i hjärtat av kvarteret, ett samlande torg som är tillgängligt för alla. I planarbetet ska allmänhetens tillgång till strandpromenaden, som utgör en del i ett kontinuerligt promenadstråk runt Centrumhalvön, säkras.

Höganäs

Samrådet kring förslaget pågår från den 7 mars till 4 april

Så här skulle det kunna se ut vid infarten till Höganäs, i korsningen vid Kullagymnasiet. Skejtparken vid skolan är redan på gång och genomfartstrafiken försvinner om väg 111 dras runt om tätorten. Då kan det även byggas nya bostäder i "tomrum" närmare vägen, och ett nytt höghus skulle knyta samman platsen som också får en station för den spårbundna trafiken.

VAD: bostäder, handel, Stadsplanering,

VAR: kv. Pallas centrala Borås

NÄR: 2011

KUND: Wästbygg, Cernera

Kvarteret Pallas i centrala Borås förädlas och integreras i staden. Det ursprungliga Domuskvarteret blir ett attraktiv, levande, öppet och elegant centrumkvarter. Nya bostäder ger platsen liv över dygnet och ökar kvarterets och stadsdelens attraktivitet. De kommersiella delarna stärks och utvecklas till ett exklusivare varuhus i stadens centrum. Parkeringsvåningarna görs tryggare och mer attraktiva. Kopplingen mellan parkering och handel/bostäder stärks.

Genom att flytta garagets infartsramp in i kvarteret och koncentrera bostäderna till en takvolym och en fristående högre byggnad kan kajen mot Viskan friställas från bebyggelse. Kajytan blir istället en attraktiv och södervänd mötesplats för Boråsarna.

Pallas blir ett signum, ett varumärke för Borås, en utflykt i staden.

Förslaget ser i princip bra ut. Det viktigaste är att öppna upp kvarteret med kommersiella lokaler också mot Viskan och mot Hotel Grand. Och det är faktiskt en utmärkt plats för en högre byggnad, hoppas bara den får ett litet mer spännande uttryck än det som Rosenbergs visar här.

^^

Det ser ut att vare ett bra läge och jag hoppas också att arkitekturen blir lite mer intressant!

Ice hockey player Peter Forsberg is one of the people behind the hotel.

NCC bygger hotellet i 13 våningar och det blir därmed stadens högsta byggnad. Den översta våningen får sviter, andra våningen konferenslokaler och i bottenplan öppnar puben Bishop´s Arms med terrass mot havet. Fasaden går i svarta och grå kulörer med inslag av rött.

Worst designed highrise ever? :lol:

Worst designed highrise ever? :lol:

It isn't that bad there are worse! ;)
I think the glass on the top will make it rather interesting.

The render isn't particullary great though :)

Wow! They really put effort on the design this time! The boxy structure is one of the most difficult shapes to achieve in the architectural community nowadays and it's really inspiring to see that some dare to challenge the rest of the lobby.

Really intuitive.

:runaway:

^^

Of course it is not groundbreaking at all but it isn't the worst ever either.
The render is bad, so one basically only sees dark and grey.
It will be black, grey and red, but no read can be seen on the render.
The top part will be made of glass I believe and it most likely will make a huge effect of this really small town at night when lit!

The world doesn't stop but it doesn't end either with this proposal! :)

For this really small town a hotel like this will be great! :cheers:

I agree with Bosco. Render looks like shit, the textures are totally low-res and there are no proper shaders on the glass. I'm sure the final result will look much better, ö-vik is a really beautiful little town and it certainly deserves a building like this. No sarcasm :)

Yet another highrise proposal in the town of Borås, this time a 20 floor building.

And this 30 floor building
http://img15.imageshack.us/img15/9690/70104jpg713327r.jpg

The hotel in Örnskökdsvik for which construction will start in april/may is meeting a protest storm of large proportions in Örnsköldsvik.
It became legal some time ago but then nothing happened and perhaps people basically forgot about it but now when it has been decided to build it with a new developer and with a new look, then ewople has realised that this acctually is about to happen.

It's going to be interesting to see if the politicians can stand firm against the huge protests and if this protest storm can stop the construction just weeks before it is to start!
It should be too late shouldn't it?

Planprogram för centrala Borås, Varierad bebyggelse

Samrådstid 1 april — 16 maj 2011

Borås has started a program looking into the affect of the highrises planned in the town. Pretty amazing for this small town of 63 441 (2005) The central town has got 14 500 inhabitants according to Wikipedia.

The plans are:

kv Nejlikan - 20 floors
kv Pallas - 24 ”
kv Vitsippan - 30 ”
+ Horngäddan, a high hotel in undecided number of floors

Sammanfattning
Planprogram med stadsbildsstudier av exploateringar med höga hus i centrala Borås. Syftet är att belysa problematiken med förtätningar i centrala lägen.


Planprogrammets syfte

Samhällsbyggnadsförvaltningen har flera planuppdrag som innebär förtätning och utökning av stadskärnan. Det finns förfrågningar om att bygga höga hus i

kv Nejlikan - 20 våningar
kv Pallas - 24 ”
kv Vitsippan - 30 ”

Dessutom finns i gällande detaljplan för kv Horngäddan byggrätt för ett hotell i obestämt antal våningar. Byggnadsnämnden beslutade 2010.05.11 att uppdra åt nuvarande samhällsbyggnadsförvaltningen att ta fram ett underlag för bedömning hur genomförandet av ovanstående exploateringar kan komma att påverka bilden/uppfattningen av Borås. Detta sker i form av ett planprogram. Samråd med kommunens nämnder och styrelser ska genomföras

Seems like Borås got some pretty good projects going on! :)

and thats a really nice map. I would love to see such maps over other cities in sweden too showing their projects!

Yes so would I and it would be pretty amacing if small town Borås got those highrises so central, that's even better than some of the larger cities in our region! :)

Hotellet kommer att inrymma ca 150 rum och för närvarande diskuteras en våningshöjd om 12- 15 våningar

The site about it was updated on march 17th, 2011 and it says that work is underway of a detailed plan. The renders are of course early sketches so I expect and hope for changes but like a highrise hotel building there in the small town of Enköping.

That town would have more highrises close to each other than some larger cities in the north. How peculiar! I wonder why they are going for it, there really is no need in such a small town, is it? It can't be that they are over crowded with people?

I think it will be a very nice addition to the Borås indeed! :)

I think this proposal was ment for Borås but I'm not sure does anyone recognize it?
It was never materialized unfortunately, I hadn't seen it before.

I just read in the media that this might not be the final look after all!
It is set to go really, but building permission had not been sought by the end of march so I don't know if they have done so by know? Probably late because they are changing the look then? It was supposed to have had it's construction start in april and with all the fuzz and live covarege over the internet of it's presentation and then still no start. :)
Well it is legal so it is just a matter of time.

Edit:

I know found that building permission will be given on may 26th. The architect has shown several different alternatives and one has been chosen to develope, it will be presented before the building permission is given. Lucky the fire didn't take the Sandell office in Stockholm!

Kommunen räknar med att kunna fatta beslut om bygglov vid samhällsbyggnadsnämndens möte den 26 maj. Fram till dess kommer byggherren och arkitekten att kunna återkomma med justeringar och med en ny, mer detaljerad, beskrivning av färgsättning och materialval. De kommer också att presentera nya justerade illustrationer.

Bygglovprocessen har nu startat genom bland annat en dialog mellan byggenheten vid kommunen och byggherren med dess arkitekt om den yttre utformningen av hotellet.

– Det har varit en positiv dialog där arkitekten Thomas Sandell har visat ett antal möjliga alternativ och jag har rekommenderat ett av dem

Hello,

I find it strange that you claim all these buildings are truly high rises. I would say the Torso and the Söder Torn are the only developments that deserve to be called high rises.

The developments posted on this thread are residential buildings at best.


But this is from someone coming from Dubai, where few buildings are below 200m

However, I find Sweden, a perfect place to develop. Unfortunately, in my opinion, Swedes are very practical people. It would not make logical sense to build massive skyscrappers, although is would be an immensely profitable development.

I think Stockholm could lead Europe and revitalize its economy through developments that attract tourists and other investors.

It is a very beautiful country and with much potential. But I find it embarrassing that the highest building in Stockholm in 117m

We count highrises in the Nordic & Baltic from 12 floors, this is how it is up here! ;)

Edit: And Torso is considered to be a skyscraper here.

Tall buildings do not necessarily attract business or invigorate an economy, good economic practice from the central government does along with good infrastructure. Sure, tall buildings are eye-candy and symbolic, but they are, at the end of the day, not much more than that. As long as Sweden maintains its urbanity and continues a more sustainable course of development then I, too, believe it can be a world leader.

PLANENS SYFTE OCH HUVUDDRAG
Planen syftar till att pröva möjligheten att uppföra en hotell- och handelsanläggning vid infarten till Kristianstads stadskärna från väg E22. Anläggningen ska rymma byggnader för dagligvaruhandel och sällanköpshandel/småskalig handel. Hotellbyggnaden ska genom sin höjd på cirka 16 våningar annonsera staden och dess entré.
Planområdet utgör en viktig entré till Kristianstad och är stadens ansikte utåt. I detta läge ska mötet mellan stad och vatten och stadens identitet belysas. Området ska gestaltningsmässigt inte ha några baksidor utan vara attraktivt och välkomnande såväl utåt mot väg E22 som inåt mot Ringvägen

I really wonder how this will look like?

Yesterday was a sad day for highrise-lovers in Sweden..They are shorten WTC in Växjö from 14 floors to 9 or even down to 4 floors. This will be shit like always in central areas of Växjö! It is the church and länstyrelsen they say will be in the shadow?? of the new building...This is a horrible statement because the location is 300m from the ugly church..:bash:

Read more in SMP...www.smp.se/nyheter/vaxjo/world-trade-center-krymper(2964700).gm

Som vanligt skiter byråkraterna i vad Växjöborna vill ha...den övervägande majoriteten vill ha mer höga hus och bostäder i centrum. Nu är det väl troligt att Kärnhem flyttar allt till Arenastaden eller lägger ner projektet vilket kanske är lika bra så kan byråkraterna ha sitt döende centrum som museum...Patetiskt!

men ni har ju inte så stort behov av att bygga högt. det blir förmodligen svårt att fylla byggnaden. inte enns science tower är helt upptaget, och det är ju ett av världens största IT centrum.

Det är väl sällan det byggs högt i Sverige för att det "behövs", som du säger. Men man måste börja tänka mer hållbart i den fysiska planeringen, i hela landet. Mark är en resurs som man måste hushålla med.

Om man tänker så, så skulle det behöva byggas betydligt tätare - bl.a. högre (högt markutnyttjande) - i alla tätorter i Sverige. Längre avstånd betyder mer kostnader för infrastruktur och kommunal service. Kunde man halvera storleken på en ort som t.ex. Växjö, dvs. dubblera markutnyttjandet, så skulle man kunna få ner de kommunala kostnaderna rejält. Varje liten villatomt bidrar med ett längre avstånd mellan utbudet och den efterfrågande av servicen. Skolor ska nås, vägar ska byggas och underhållas, bussar ska köras och vatten/avlopp ska grävas ner, osv. Många bäckar små...

Ja nu var det ju tänkt som en revitalisering av Växjö centrum med kontor, handel och bostäder...Växjö centrum har fått mycket stryk pga sina idiotiska byggregler centralt och kan ej konkurrera med externa köpcentrum i utkanterna!

Javisst har politikerna i Växjö till slut kommit på att det är ohållbart att staden brer ut sig och projekten är många...se nedan

Hovsberg 16-17 våningar 55m
Hackan 23 13 våningar
Kråkan 4 (gamla folkparken) 3-4st 12-15 våningar
Bärnstenen 14 våningar plus påbyggnader av gamla befintliga hus
Vallen 4st 8 våningshus
Södra station ett antal 9 våningars hus (dock är 14v WTC i farozonen)

Ännu flera byggen är på planeringsstadiet...

Vissa av projekten ovan är dock lång framskridna som Hovsberg, Södra station! Bärnstenen är redan godkänd!

Problemet är som alltid nimbys!

Låter bra. Men jag vill också tillägga att höghus inte är en lösning i sig och inte alls innebär hållbar stadsbyggnad. Det viktiga är en nära stadsstruktur, med tydliga avgränsningar för privata/offentliga miljöer, nära till målpunkter i staden, etc. I stort - goda förutsättningar för en hållbar livsstil.

Nej man ska faktiskt bygga vanliga hus i kvarter centralt på 4-6 våningar för att öka stadens kvalite! En på detta sammanhållen stad blir utmärkt och ska radera gamla synder i Växjö.

Kajan
Luleå

Arktitektbyrån Equator har vunnit med sitt förslag för kvarteret Kajan i Luleå.

Osäker på om man skulle posta projektet i höghusdelen eller inte, då gränsen väl går vid 12 våningar för att vara ett höghus? Kanske är den ena delen av huset 12 våningar eller mer?

It's the same city where they are building this hotel at the moment:



http://img821.imageshack.us/img821/2439/626g.jpg

Looking at the map, it seems to be a different one. As far as I can tell the plots are 2-300 meters apart. And if so it's quite a "highrise boom" for little Övik :)

Yes they are different ones! :)

I has acctually forgotten about the residental one which I have read is heavily criticized by many in Övik for being ugly.

Aghh.. I read your previous post a little too fast and thought it was a question of whether it's the same building. Oh well.. :tongue2:

I can see how the residential building design might be controversial, but I like it.

A new proposal for a 20st hotel and office building i Växjö close to Arenastaden and I11 handelscentrum! The city council is positive to the project and it is a good chance for this to be built! Read more in the link below....

Green light now given for "Ting 1" in Ö-vik (13 fl, ~47 m) Cool project for a town with approx. 30 000 citizens. But the topography in Ö-vik, with steep hillsides and limited space, might also be a factor that drives the thinking skywards. ;-)

The first (really ugly) 12-fl buildings in this town were built back in the 1960's on Ångermanlandsgatan, if I'm not misinformed.

Lots of interesting things happening in the north right now, especially in the Umeå - Örnsköldsvik area, but also in Luleå. Nice for us people up here to see some development :)

Hello everyone!

This is my first post. The highrise in these pictures is an old proposal from a competition. But there is a black 20 floor highrise under construction on the site. They have just raisen the first walls on the first over/under ground floor. It´s called "Bryggudden" and is situated at the inner harbour in Karlstad.

Okay thank you, maybe I did that unintentionally and yes that building is the one under construction supposed to be finished late this year.

It´s the first step of a project to build hundreds of residentials in that part of the inner harbour in Karlstad

What a pleasant surprice to see this great high-rise under construction in Karlstad!

^^It is! finally another focal-point besides the Löfbergs-skrapan!:D

Yes it will be exciting watching it rise and it´s about time something taller than Löfbergs coffescraper gets built. That one is more than 50 years old ;)

Let's hope that the construction at Kanikenäsholmen in Karlstad (36 m tall residential building) will start soon as well - I guess one could expect that since 70 % of the flats are sold/booked.

The tallest non-cathedral building in Karlstad today, the Löfbergs Lila coffeescraper, can be seen in the background, as well as its smaller brother (45 and 35 m tall, respectively).

You should definatly make a tread for this tower - especially if you will provide excellent updates like the one above :)

I agree (nice picture by the way :)) but the floorcount should be 20 and the height about 60 m.

I´m pretty sure that the 51 m figure comes from the height of the first setback above the 17 floor. 51 m was the heightlimit the city approved but it didnt include setbacks so they used setbacks to build a few floors more. So its actually gonna be taller than the cathedral of Karlstad wich it wasn´t supposed to be from the start;)

I´ve seen old renderings with height included and done some calculating from the renderings at "bryggudden.com" to figure out the height.

Kanikenäsholmen should be under construction soon, maybe the bridgework delayed it..

I don´t know if it´s been brought up here before but Albér fastigheter has plans (a bit vague) of build a 25-floor glasstower on the old military domain "I2" nowadays called "Kasernhöjden". I think it´s supposed to be mixed-used. The city is positive but it´s not approved and I don´t think the height has been discussed.

Here is a link with a drawing: http://www.alber.se/index.php?action=viewProject&id=6

The city in the post above is Karlstad.

The city is also making plans for another part of inner harbour next to "Bryggudden". It´s called "Kanoten" and it´s containig a 15-floor, a 13-floor and a couple of 9, 10 floor buildings. It´s not approved yet but heres a link to Karlstad kommun and the project: http://www.karlstad.se/apps/symfoni/karlstad/karlstad.nsf/$all/9E8D4DDD98158851C12578C0004EEF50

There is also new construction pictures of "Bryggudden": http://www.bryggudden.com/nyheter.html

This week the third floor is up :)

Lundbergs fastigheter wants to build a 15-floor highrise at Norrstrand in Karlstad. Rendering in NWT (Nya Wermlands Tidningen) last weekend.

Yeah, many interesting projects in Karlstad at the moment! I think there are so many nice high-rise (and low-rise) projects that time has come for a Karlstad thread (as well as a Bryggudden thread which I'm soon gonna start).

And I also have good news regarding Bryggudden in Karlstad. You were right chribba, the height of the building will actually be higher than expected! 51 m were, as you said, to the 17:th floor. However, that didn't include the setbacks! It is quite odd, since I think the plan doesn't permit something like that (shhh...let's keep this as a secret, so my neighbors don't complain :)). I have now studied the building permit and there will be 20 floors above ground with a total building height of 60.5 m.

Don't worry I wont tell. At least not until it's finished, I also live in the neighbourhood.

I think it's something about that the plan (detaljplanen) has set a limit on the total building height (total byggnadshöjd) of 51 m but not any total height (total höjd) and that made it possible to build the extra floors :) I'm sure it's totally unintentionally ;)

Great idea about the threads! Lets hope that at least some of the plans become reality!

I guess you might be right about the confusing issue about the total building height. Though, there were some small deviations from the plan when the building recently was accepted - perhaps they regarded 10 m taller as a small deviation ;) As far as I remember, there was a big discussion before the plan was approved, about the height of the building that it should be lower than the cathedral, so I'm a bit surprised.

Anyway, good news :)

Yes it is and it's good to have the height confirmed:D

Crovax, do you think you have the time to create a Karlstad and/or Brygguddenthread sometimes soon? It,s not much activity on this one..

Dåliga nyheter får södra stationsområdet i Växjö där man tänkt bygga ett WTC på 14 våningar...idioterna kapade av 5 våningar så WTC-huset, blir bara 9 våningar vilket blir lägre än lasarettet hundra meter bort?!! Varför man amputerade WTC? För att dumskallarna gav efter för svenska kyrkan och plattskallarna på länstyrelsen som ansåg att WTC-byggnaden skulle skymma och förta domkyrkans dominerande intryck. Till saken hör att domkyrkan inte ens är i närheten av det planerade bygget utan ca 500 m bort.

Man kan ju undra varför lasarettet fick byggas öht när det huset är lika högt men mycket bredare och massivare än WTC är tänkt att bli?

Fantasin hos dessa arkitekturens dödgrävare inom länstyrelsen i Växjö saknar gränser vad gäller brist på logik...

Läs om eländet via länken nedan...läs kommentarerna från byråkraterna och kyrkan som är emot bygget, oslagbara i all sin dumhet!

Länstyrelser i hela Sverige hindrar utveckling. Jag kommer ihåg att du berättade om det här redan förra året men då är det alltså klubbat och klart nu, synd!
Finns det några nya illustrationer på hur byggnaden kommer att se ut nu?

Nej inga som jag vet om...men tyvärr har hela projektet mer eller mindre havererat i och med byråkraternas intåg! Enligt direktiven för bostäderna på området ska det alltså bli miljonprogrammet version 2.0...men inget annat var väl att vänta heller.

Det mest komiska är att kommunledningen uppmanar byggherrar att bygga med djärv arkitektur när Växjö ska förtätas...det hela framstår som ett skämt när kommunledningen vek sig som ett halmstrå när kyrkan kom med sina krav!

Visst saknar man en riktig "kommunpamp" som ofta finns i andra städer och som pekar med hela handen...

Green light now given for "Ting 1" in Ö-vik (13 fl, ~47 m) Cool project for a town with approx. 30 000 citizens. But the topography in Ö-vik, with steep hillsides and limited space, might also be a factor that drives the thinking skywards. ;-)

The first (really ugly) 12-fl buildings in this town were built back in the 1960's on Ångermanlandsgatan, if I'm not misinformed.

So you call these really ugly? At least they're colorful! :)

They are okay. if you want to see RELY ugly projects, search Rinkeby and Tensta.

New 67 meters tall 18-floor office highrise will maybe get built in new officecomplex in Karlstad :D

More pictures in the non highrise thread (but without the highrise).

Rendering from the local newspaper NWT (Nya Wermlands Tidningen), they own the buildings in the foreground. E18 in the background.

Good news for K-stad. :okay:

Yes, I hope it gets built and that they open a cafe or restaurant at the top. It will look nice next to E18 :)

They should build it in town instead not by the motorway.

Yeah, I'd love a real highrise in the absolute center of the town but I don't think the city will allow it because it would take away the cathedrals "skylinedominance". Maybe in the future :)

But at least it's just a 5-10 minutes walk along "Klarälven" (the clear river) from the citycenter.
