“It was a very exciting and interesting challenge for us. The assignment was to create a bold, warm, open, innovative and flexible interior,” says Elise Juusela Norberg, who together with Märta Friman, designed the interior.

In close cooperation with Henning Larsen Architects we used the building’s intrinsic character and atmosphere as the starting point. From an idea about activities and needs we the set about creating an environment that would meet that reality.

This was a mixture of adventure, celebration, and music, but also work, rest and relaxation. The strong identity and character of the building are reflected in the materials and colours.
