Östersund City Foyer
The original urban plan of Östersund efficiently organizes the city into a clear matrix of defined plots and roads, combined with green gardens and wonderful sightlines towards the lake. The new municipality building plays into the matrix by adapting its proportion to the surroundings and connecting with the adjacent old town hall underground. The Östersund City Foyer combines well-functioning working zones and representative public spaces for the city, nestled together in a lush and sustainable meadow landscape.
Visitors are met by a welcoming entrance hall that is clearly connected to the public streets. The entrance is visible from several directions and is easy to reach both on foot and by bicycle. The building’s programme promotes collaboration through a diversity of workspaces that create various opportunities for workers to meet. Within the fixed building volume, a clear floor plan allows flexible use and accommodates future changes to the layout. The work zones are well structured and easy to reach from anywhere in the building. They support a digital and mobile way of working, adaptable to each employee’s needs and preferences.
