Kvarteret Futura är en del av den gröna och innovativa stadsdelen Södra Brunnshög. I kvarteret möts kvaliteter med inspiration från centrala Lunds upplevelserika karaktär och Brunnshögs innovativa framtidsvision. Gestaltningen utgörs av skiftande fasadmaterial och takfotshöjder som ger kvarteret en dynamisk siluett och ett levande taklandskap.
Byggnaderna är utförda med två olika fasadkaraktärer med fokus på gedigna detaljer och vackra material. Tegelfasaderna har artikulerade sockelvåningar med stående tegelförband och träfasadernas sockelvåningar utförs med vertikal reliefverkan. Fasaderna har en klassisk och stadsmässig fönstersättning med artikulerade entréer och lokaler med höga glaspartier.
Bostadskvarteret rymmer 51 bostadsrättslägenheter med gemensam bostadsgård och takterrass med växthus och utsikt över stadskärnan. Bakom höga glaspartier i markplan ryms flera lokaler samt restaurang/café på hörnet av torget intill till nya spårvägens station. Genomgående entréer och cykelparkering med verkstad i markplan för de boende som nås direkt från torget. Integrerad landskapsdesign i gatumiljön omfattar växtbäddar och vertikal växtlighet på fasader. Bostadsgården är lummig och innefattar ett större gemensamt matbord samt en lekplats. Taken är täckta med sedum och utgör tillsammans med bostadsgård och vertikal växtlighet goda förutsättningar för ekologisk och social hållbarhet.
”Detaljeringen av tegel-och träfasaderna har varit bärande för kvarterets samlade gestaltning. Vi valde en mönstermurning med utstickande koppar för sockelvåningarna som ger en taktil och livfull materialitet. Med Kvarteret Futura har vi förhållit oss till Lunds historiska skala och variation”, säger Ola Jonsson, arkitekt och associerad partner på C.F. Møller Architects.
I nordöstra Lund växer den nya hållbara framtidsstadsdelen Brunnshög fram med bostäder, service och arbetsplatser för på sikt närmare 40 000 personer. Den nya stadsdelen ska bli ett inspirerande pilotområde med varierad arkitektur och grönområden som ledord. Södra Brunnshög är den första stora utbyggnadsetappen i den nya stadsdelen med ca 700 bostäder fördelat på hyresrätter, bostadsrätter och radhus.
Södra Brunnshög ska bli Lunds grönaste och urbana stadsdel med ett flertal parker, grönytor och växtlighet. Stadsodling i olika former sätter karaktären på området, och ökad biodiversitet och biomassa blir en positiv miljöeffekt. Innovation och är ett ledord för den nya stadsdelen som byggs i anslutning till de två stora forskningsanläggningarna Max IV och ESS.

Kv. Fasanen, Sweden
Bostadskvarteret Fasanen är beläget i direkt närhet till Arlöv Centrum. Här skapas möjlighet till effektiva och prisvärda lägenheter med förstagångsköparen i fokus. Området rymmer 276 bostadsrättslägenheter och består idag av tvåor och treor. Gestaltningen utgörs av olika fasadmaterial, skiftande tegelfärger och eleganta lösningar med stora fönsterpartier.
När projektet ritades fanns det ett önskemål om effektiva, prisvärda lägenheter, som gjorde det möjligt för förstagångsköparen att få en rimligt nyproducerad bostad, både när det gäller pris och yta. Målet var att bygga så mycket uthyrningsbar yta på så lite kommunikation som möjligt. Samtliga hus byggs upp av ett trapphus med sex lägenheter. Dessa trapphus kan sedan sättas samman till längre lamellhus med två eller tre trapphus, eller stå som fristående solitära byggnader med ett trapphus.
“Vi ville skapa någon form av stadsmässighet där byggnaderna hade utgångar, entréer och uteplatser längs med gatan, i syfte att skapa liv, trygghet och aktivitet i bottenplanet", säger Arne Jönsson, arkitekt på Arkitektlaget.
Variationen i burspråk, förskjutningar och släpp mellan husen ger byggnaderna en varierad volymuppbyggnad och takfotslinje. För att skapa en sammanhållande, stilig och enkel design har man jobbat mycket med sockellinjen där den vita delen på huset alltid är fyra våningar oavsett våning på huset.
“Vi la fokus på variationen på bottenvåningen, som man upplever när man rör sig längs byggnaderna. Ambitionen var att lägga resurserna på sockelvåningen där man behöver ha ett tåligt material. Där är tegel det ultimata materialvalet i det avseendet. Det är både vackert, tåligt och ger en kvalitetskänsla”, säger Arne.
Eftersom det inte fanns så många andra byggnader att förhålla sig till i området, kommer Fasanen förhoppningsvis vara startskottet och ramverket för framtida projekt i närområdet. Arkitektlaget har använt all sin kunskap och erfarenhet för att få ut så mycket kvalitet och en bra vardagsarkitektur som möjligt i projektet. Fasanen tillför värde till platsen, både i materialitet och utformning.

Brf Skogstigen 1-3, Draken 1, Sweden
Nära Bulltoftaparken i Malmö, har Midroc uppfört tre punkthus i åtta våningar.
Projektet omfattar 117 lägenheter i varierande storlekar. På takvåningen finns en solcellsanläggning.
I källarplan finns cykel-, barnvagn- och lägenhetsförråd.
Fokus har lagts på att skapa en byggnad som förankras till platsen men som ändå särskiljer sig. Vi ville att byggnaderna skulle ha ett ljust tegel i kontrast till omkringliggande mörkare byggnader.
Detaljering, med relief i den förhöjda sockeln samt med tegelramar runt fönstren, ger huset en mänsklig skala trots sin höjd. De skapar även en spännande skuggverkan i fasaden.
Läget precis intill Bulltoftaparken och lägenheter i nivå med trädtopparna ger fina förutsättningar för ett naturnära boende i Malmö.
PEs roll har varit att ta projektet från första skiss, via programhandlingar, bygglov, systemhandlingar och bygghandlingar, till färdig byggnad.
Inflyttning skedde våren 2019.

Villa Maria, Sweden
This Swedish home with challenging shapes and straight lines is drawn towards the coast. So much it literally looks like the house is leaning towards the ocean.
From the street, the house is private with few windows, but from the garden – and the sea – the house opens op with great glass sections and a large terrace. The atrium in the centre of the villa provides a great natural inflow of light as well as small courtyard, that adds charm to the house.
A consistent element in the project is the RT 550 Kronos brick. It is a soft-moulded brick in shades of dim grey with a pinch of warm yellow. It picks up the surrounding’s play of colours and adds robustness to the house. The brickwork is also an important element in the indoor environment, where it sets the scene for a comfortable feeling of home.

A significant detail in the project is the variation of bonds. When walking across the property, you can’t miss the play of bonds; There is the classic bond of long format bricks, a protruding bond as well as transparent one – each of which adds a special effect on the overall impression of the house.

Bävern, Sweden
Kv Bävern, placerat i centrala Trelleborg, en ort med ett fantastiskt läge vid havet och fungerande kollektivtrafik. Här ges möjlighet till boende för yngre och äldre där möten mellan människor och det goda vardagslivet varit en central ledstjärna i projektet. Öppenheten mellan kvarteret och parken skapar även en tillgänglighet till alla boende och besökare området.
Utgångspunkten i projektet var att öppna upp kontakten mellan Nygatan och stadsparken, både visuellt och funktionellt. Arkitektlaget ville skapa ett balanserat gestaltningsförhållande till omgivningen, avseende byggnadsvolymer, siktlinjer, axialitet och materialitet.
”Vår avsikt var att skapa ett arkitektoniskt formspråk präglat av en tidlöshet som både är samtida och evig på samma gång, säger Arne, arkitekt på Arkitektlaget i Helsingborg.
I grunden består gestaltningsidén av ett murraster med pelare och balk där man har använt två olika storlekar på öppningar, som på ett lekfullt sätt placerats i fasaden med syfte att skapa karaktär till husen. Placeringen av fönstren varierar mellan olika plan, vilket resulterar i att ljusinsläppet och upplevelsen i varje lägenhet blir unik.
”Genom att använda olika klassiska gestaltningsgrepp såsom sockelmarkering, taktfot, markering av hörn, placering av takvinge och de uthängda balkongerna, kan vi skapa ett stort antal variationer av uttryck där vi betonar platsens eller omgivningens betydelse”, säger Arne.
Materialvalen baseras på byggnadstraditionen i Trelleborg som till stor del utgörs av tegelhus i röda och bruna nyanser. Där av valde man att arbeta med ett rött tegel med spel. I fasaden återkommer mönstermurade ytor i samma tegel. Det ger en svag accentuering av murverket, tydligare på nära håll och mer diffust på avstånd.
Ambitionen med lägenhetslayouten har varit att ge så många lägenheter som möjligt kontakt med både Nygatan och Stadsparken.

Villa Zeist, Netherlands
Photo @Stijin Poelstra fotografie & video
Despite its fairly traditional roof shape, the house has a modern appearance due to the use of long-format gray-fired bricks. The slender black steel facades further enhance this modern look. The application of oak wood on elements such as the garage the large pivot front door, and the ceilings of the overhangs creates a beautiful contrast against the gray-toned masonry, giving the house a sleek yet warm ambiance.
A play of horizontal and vertical lines creates a playful composition. The elongated horizontal canopies thread the volumes together and provide balance to the predominantly vertical, stately main volume. Various brickwork patterns, with bricks applied both horizontally and vertically, create a subtle division of planes in the facade. An ample chimney, featuring an indoor and outdoor fireplace, becomes an eye-catching element at the rear of the house, connecting the two main volumes.

Villa Maria, Sweden
This Swedish home with challenging shapes and straight lines is drawn towards the coast. So much it literally looks like the house is leaning towards the ocean.
From the street, the house is private with few windows, but from the garden – and the sea – the house opens op with great glass sections and a large terrace. The atrium in the centre of the villa provides a great natural inflow of light as well as small courtyard, that adds charm to the house.
A consistent element in the project is the RT 550 Kronos brick. It is a soft-moulded brick in shades of dim grey with a pinch of warm yellow. It picks up the surrounding’s play of colours and adds robustness to the house. The brickwork is also an important element in the indoor environment, where it sets the scene for a comfortable feeling of home.

The home is oriented towards the sea, not only in its location – but in every architectural decision. As you walk through the beautiful and simple rooms of the house, your eye continues to meet the many nuances of ocean.
The use of waterstruck bricks provide a special aesthetic to the house. Not two bricks are alike, the texture, surface and colour of each brick vary – just enough to create a distinctive expression in the overall brickwork.
Christoffersen & Weiling Architects are behind this remarkable project, and their work has been awarded with a nomination for ArchDaily 2021 Building of the Year Awards.

Fläderblomman, Sweden
Mönstermurning bidrar till en levande fasad.
OpenStudio arkitekter berättar om projektet Fläderblomman:
OpenStudio arkitekters tävlingsvinst med High-Casual lägenheter ledde till arbetet med projektet Fläderblomman i Hyllie. Konceptet bygger på hus i den nya stadsmiljön med sammanhållen, ståtlig fasad i mörkbrunt tegel och lekfull fönstersättning. Takets utformning, grönskan och det artikulerade hörnet ger projektet en tydlig komposition.
Insidan är mer casual i vitt, som en ljus och lugn bakgrund till grönskan, livet och gården. Bostäderna får en sockel mot staden och gården görs något nedsänkt för att stärka det privata och tydliggöra gårdsrummet.
Tegel som fasadmaterial föll sig naturligt för att skapa stiliga och tunga men också varierade fasader åt staden. Ett mörkt brunt tegel ger tyngd och robusthet och den ljusare används för att skapa motiv i fasaderna. Dels används det ljusare teglet för att definiera hörnet och husens lokal men också för att måla upp vertikala fönsterband. Teglets egna förmåga att bära genom murning fick synas genom mönstermurningen och bidrar till en rikare fasad.

Located in the heart of Stockholm. Basaren is a masterpiece of both architecture and engineering, where two oval forms resonate through the entire design and construction of these exclusive city apartments. This building is particular unique because of its façade of transparent masonry, which is made possible by the Carlsberg-system. The devil is in the detail, and this is no exception; each brick used for the transparent part of the brickwork has two extruded holes that matches the shape of the two towered-building. This requires extra structural support in wall elements, lintels and beams – but in turn provides a quiet synergy and gives the building a light and airy feel.

The vision behind the new headquarters at Hammershøj is called Supersize Bricks and covers the architect’s visual expression.
The administration building consists of four 'stacked bricks'. To make these stones habitable, they are scaled by a factor of 92. The proportions of the stones have been preserved so that the expression at a distance will have clear references to the format of a Danish brick – now only at 21x10x5 meters. The same expression is repeated on the production buildings, which simultaneously act as exhibition walls and demonstration of mortar types and curves.

Sofie Dahlstedt, architect SAR / MSA at E / S-A Arkitekter, talks about the Jubilee and what sustainable architecture really means to her.
The level of ambition was very high for the Jubilaren neighbourhood because the name Jubilaren comes from Riksbyggens 75th anniversary. Already from the customer's side, it was decided in advance that the block would-be built-in brick. The cost over time is also an aspect that was very important and interesting for Riksbyggen. Even though Jubilaren is a tenant-owner association, Riksbyggen has a continued administration towards Jubilaren. The administration therefore creates another incentive for Riksbyggen to build buildings that are truly sustainable over time.
"You show a high level of ambition by building with bricks compared to, for example, a plastering system. Brick has a higher cost in the initial construction cost stage, but over time it is actually a lower total cost. This is partly due to lower maintenance costs."
The first of four house bodies consist of larger apartment bodies, aimed primarily at families with children. The house body facing south is an attic house with only two-room apartments, which this suits the couple who are moving to the perfect home. The northern house body is a traditional apartment building, while the eastern house is intended for single households.
"The Jubilee's overall concept was that it would work for all phases of life."
As architects, we wanted each house to have its own design idea and identity. We really wanted to use the brick design. The expression for this was that we drew in and used reliefs, as well as elaborated windowsills and brick decorations. We used molded bricks to get rounded windowsills and we actually worked exclusively with Randers Tegl's standard range, but in slightly different ways to create the buildings' identity and expression.
One of the ideas was that the rounded window sash would lead in trailing light along the facades. On the northern façade, the creepers are rounded on both sides, to maximize both morning and evening light. On the eastern façade, the slip is rounded to the south, so that the southern light is directed in, while to the north, the slip has a straight edge. Above each gate, we used the brick to create a brick pattern on the facade, different patterns for each gate. This resulted in each gate having its own expression and identity.
"Above each gate, we used the brick to create a brick pattern on the facade, different patterns for each gate. This resulted in each gate having its own expression and identity."
The sustainability aspect when it comes to bricks as a building material can be divided into three equal parts. Brick is economically sustainable, it may be a bit more expensive in the beginning, but in the long run bricks are both architecturally and economically sustainable, a solid brick building requires much less maintenance in the long run.
"In the long run, bricks are both architecturally and economically sustainable, a solid brick building actually requires much less maintenance in the long run."
Another sustainable aspect of building in brick is that the design is sustainable. Brick as a material is not as sensitive as other materials to trend fluctuations. Brick is timeless and therefore brick is also durable. It is now four years since people moved into Jubilaren but the building does not feel dated, it could just as easily have been built today. In 50 years, the building will not feel outdated either, it is simply timelessness. Another aspect of brick is that as an architect you can bring the material with you to so many different areas in a project. Partly in the facade, partly in stairwells, fireplaces, and interior design to name a few uses.
"Bricks are timeless and therefore bricks are also sustainable."
The third aspect is that brick is a natural material that is sustainable from an environmental perspective. Energy used to burn the brick is used, but bricks come from the earth and bricks can return to the earth. It is also possible to use bricks again, then as recycled bricks. From these three perspectives, brick is a sustainable building material, on several different levels of sustainability.
"Bricks come from the earth and bricks can go back to the earth. It is also possible to use bricks again, then as recycled bricks."
For me as an architect is a sustainable building, whose design has a timelessness, and by this I do not mean historicism or excessively romantic designs, but everyday forms that last over time. As an architect, you draw in decorative elements that have additional functions in addition to being aesthetically beautiful, such as reliefs. It does not have to be "luxurious" material to create variation in expression.

Behold Queen Eufemias Gate 42 (DEG42). An office building at Oslo’s waterfront that stands out with the very strong suspended meeting rooms in tile, which is overhang on the east façade with unique view through floor-to-ceiling windows. Along with New York-inspired fire escape that winds outside on the east, meeting rooms along the façade creates the unconventional a unique sculptural and dramatic look.
The tile façade is done in full height, ie. all weight is brought down to the foundation. The displaced window positions result in increased loads on the brick beams as the load is brought down to the foundation, and thus up to 17 shift high prefabricated tile beams are made to support the construction. The meeting boxes are suspended in a bearing steel structure with suspended bricklifts along the underside of the boxes. The thickness of the tile ceilings is just 35 mm. to achieve a minimalist expression.

Valhall, Sweden
Vallhall är ritat av Lindberg Stenberg Arkitekter och murentreprenör var AB Kovenda. Kvarteret är beläget i Hyllie där RT478 Prima Lecco, RT475 Prima Bari, RT 473 Prima Como, RT 551 Unika Argos och projektstenen RT438 Prima Monza utan vitt klär fasaderna.
Lindberg Stenberg Arkitekter berättar -
UPPHÖJT. VALHALL BJUDER PÅ ETT LIV PÅ PELARE.
Kvarteret Valhall är ett kombiprojekt med stor livsmedelsaffär och apotek i gatuplanet med tillhörande garage i två plan. Ovanpå detta ligger en upphöjd gård i två nivåer med ca 430 lägenheter fördelade på 15 trapphus.
Projektet ligger i Hyllie i Malmö och bildar med sin höga del entré från Pildammsvägen. Stor omsorg har lagts vid att få ner skalan och dela upp kvarteret i hus med egna karaktärer. Butikens höga sockelvåning utförs helt i tegel och detaljeras med öppningar, relief och murning. Genomgående har kvarteret ljusa trapphus som berikar både in och utsida. Kvarterets gård nås från trapphusen, en södervänd trappa och cykelhiss.
Projektets närhet till Hyllie station, Emporia, Malmö Arena och Hyllievångsskolan ökar ytterligare attraktiviteten.

Svanen, Sweden
OpenStudio Arkitekter har gestaltat Svanen i Svedala, där huskropparna pryds av RT 483 Classica Gammalrött och RT 472 Prima Bellagio. Murningen skötte Nimab. Riktigt snyggt blev det!
OpenStudio Arkitekter berättar om projektet -
För Svanen blev målet att uppföra ett stolt och elegant kvarter med rötterna i lokal industriarkitektur, som i en modern tappning gav en luftig känsla och kunde bjuda på platsen.
Med detta i åtanke var materialvalet givet. Svedala har en rik tegelhistoria, med tegelbruk och fint detaljerad tegelarkitektur, och att koppla an till detta gav oss en möjlighet att bygga nytt på ett sätt som kändes självklart i den historiska stadskärnan.
Det fanns ett rikt källmaterial att hämta inspiration ifrån, där framförallt Sandviks industrifastigheter vid tågstationen lämnade ett starkt intryck. Kulörer, vågformade takfotsdetaljer, och inte minst huvudmotivet med tegelpelare är alla moderna omtolkningar av Svedalas arkitekturhistoria.
Som kontrast till det industriella arvet är två av byggnadskropparna uppförda som moderna tillskott till stadsrummet, där det röda teglet fått ge plats åt en dämpad mörkgrå sten. För att möta den småskaliga bebyggelsen bakom Storgatan är dessa byggnader lägre, och skalan bryts ner ytterligare genom att vi skar i volymerna, vilket skapade takterrasser och intressanta blickfång i gaturummet.
Mot himlen lättar byggnaderna med inslag av ljus puts, där kulören återkommer som fog mellan tegelstenarna. Resultatet är ett helgjutet projekt, där fasaderna flätar in i varandra och skapar ett rikt samspel av kontrasterande uttryck.

Elinegård
Urbana och hållbara radhus i Elinegård.
Dessa stadshus är gestaltade av Tengbom arkitekter. Fasadteglet som använts mixades olika sorter av tegel i vilt förband för att skapa den karakteristiska fasaden. 50% mix av RT473 och RT475, samt en 50% mix av RT484 och RT473. Fogen är BÖ11 från Bösarps Torrbruk. Fasaderna murades av Mur & Puts Specialisten i Skåne AB och byggentreprenör var Anebyhusgruppen AB.
Tengbom arkitekter berättar om projektet:
Ett flexibelt, urbant och hållbart boende för den moderna småbarnsfamiljen stod på önskelistan. Inga problem – vi satte tänderna i utmaningen direkt. Och nu har det blivit verklighet. Vi ritade stadsradhus tillsammans med Ikano Bostad efter vinst i utlyst tävling.
…
Men om man vill göra världen bättre måste man tänka ännu större, och det gjorde vi. Det är inte bara familjernas vardag som ska göras mångsidig och hållbar utan hela kvarteret. Genom att bygga flexibla småhus kunde vi ta tillvara på områden där det annars skulle vara svårt att bygga, och utnyttja attraktiva adresser nära staden som tidigare har fått stå tomma.
Det är viktigt att skapa ett boende som fungerar på flera plan. Många unga familjer är väldigt intresserade av att vara klimatsmarta, men samtidigt ovilliga att kompromissa bort känslan och estetiken. Vi lyssnade på de önskemålen. Det finns goda chanser att anpassa sitt hus. Samtidigt har byggnaderna ett gemensamt formspråk och ett visuellt släktskap, vilket skapar den populära urbana looken. Dessutom finns smarta lösningar som exempelvis underhållsfria fasader, solceller på taken, sopsortering och bilpooler. Det här gör det avsevärt mycket enklare för föräldrarna att leva upp till sina miljöambitioner.

Kv Nanna, Sweden
Ett arkitektoniskt landmärke i Malmö.
Denna spetsiga tegelbyggnad är ritad av Juul / Frost arkitekter där Midroc var totalentreprenör och Byggentreprenören Vellinge AB var murentreprenör. Fogen i det vilda förbandet är BÖ170 och BÖ13 från Bösarps Torrbruk.
Teglet på fasaden är RT475 & RT546.
Juul l Frost arkitekter berättar om Nanna -
Hyllie Corner i kvarteret Nanna är anpassad till kontexten och tomten vilket säkerställer optimala dagsljusförhållanden för de boende. Byggnaden är utformad som ett öppet torg i 4 till 8 våningar, med en angränsande 4-vånings fristående ”stadsvilla”. Den öppna innergården integrerar bebyggelsen i stadsdelen och ger direkt tillgång till en av Hyllies gröna huvudvägar för trafikanter. Byggnaden är inredd med varierande bostadsstorlekar från studios till rymliga familjehus. Med café och mindre butiker på bottenvåningen bidrar Hyllie Corner till stadslivet på Hyllie Allé: stadsdelens huvudgata.
Utifrån det särpräglade läget på Hyllie Allé och den utstickande tomten har byggnadens framträdande hörn utformats så att den lyfter fram byggnaden som ett landmärke och ett arkitektoniskt riktmärke. Byggnaden är i 8 våningar mot Hyllie Allé och är nedskalad till 4 våningar upp till stadsvillan och grönområdet söder om byggnaden.

Miljöbyggnad nivå silver
Munktellstaden is centrally located in Eskilstuna by rushing waterways, bridges, and islets. The place offers industrial history as well as sports activities, cultural events, good food, exciting museums, education, innovative business, and hotels. A new residential area and new district, Norra Munktellstaden, has emerged where, among others, Magnolia Fastigheter has built several constructions of both tenancies and condominiums.
In the planning work of the current project, Magnolia Fastigheter worked together with the architectural firm Hidemark & Stintzing Arkitekter, which works with both new production and older cultural-historical environments.
Magnolia Bostad's overall goal and requirements are to environmentally certify all buildings, according to at least Miljöbyggnad Silver. Regarding materials and products, these are carefully evaluated from a life cycle perspective to ensure that they do not pose any environmental or health risks either to the residents or to those who work with production. In the current project, it was decided right from the start that the facade material would at least 70% consist of brick or plaster. The choice fell on bricks.
Jacob Hidemark SAR / MSA and Gustav Vrang SAR / MSA talk about the project and what the concept of sustainability means to them.
The Norra Munktellstaden project in Eskilstuna was an exciting project. As an architect, it is very good to work with a client who puts sustainability and sustainable material choices first. Choosing bricks was thus an obvious choice both for us architects and for Magnolia Bostäder's project manager. We also started from the architecture in Eskilstuna, where bricks are prominent in many of the city's facades.
"As an architect, it is very good to work with a client who puts sustainability and sustainable material choices first."
To reinforce the feeling that the house bodies are different individuals who stand for themselves and become personal, we chose different colours on the brick and different colours on the joints. After Randers Tegel delivered many test boards with different bricks and different colours on the joint, the choice finally fell on three joint colours and three types of bricks, RT475-Bari, RT575-Fusion, and RT571-Fusion. We also chose to work with different types of pattern masonry, such as copper in standing joints and cantilevers in the street level of the facades to create an exciting expression in the facades. The colour choice for the windows was also important. Because some windows got a dark colour and others a white colour on the window frames, the personality of the house bodies is further strengthened. To avoid getting a feeling that the houses were moving away from the street, we let the stairs from the apartments to the north go down to the sidewalk. Thanks to this, we connected the street with the houses and achieved a Brooklyn feeling… albeit in Eskilstuna vintage.
Choosing brick as a facade material has many advantages. We think that a brick facade gives a feeling that the houses are solid and lavish and that in turn gives a social sustainability. You want to both live in and preserve a solid building for future generations. In our Scandinavian climate, with its colour scale, which during large parts of the year goes in grey, brick is also a good choice of facade material as it with its colour scales blends well into the landscape and counteracts the "grey ash". This is very difficult to create with other facade materials such as concrete or sheet metal. Brick also becomes more beautiful over the years with its patina and lively expression, which it can take a hundred years to achieve.

Sustainability is in focus and from 2022, all new construction will be environmentally declared. Then clients and architects must choose materials so that the right score in the various certification models is achieved. Sometimes it can be a weighting of all choices to achieve the right score. Since it is the construction of the entire frame and façade that determines how long the building lasts, without the costly and energy-intensive maintenance required, this weighs heavily and this is where the focus on material selection should be placed. We think this is important so that we build both beautiful and climate-smart for future generations to live in.

Helgonagården, Sweden
Helgonagården, Lund
2014 utlystes en markanvisningstävling av Lunds kommun, på tomten öster om Sparta i Lund. Tävlingen avsåg utformning av ny bostadsbebyggelse på platsen. Vi utsågs av Medicon Village, som har sin verksamhet på andra sidan Scheelevägen, att göra ett förslag å deras vägnar.
Sparta är ett studentboende med flera publika lokaler färdigställt 1970 och ritat av Bengt Edman. Det är en ikonisk modernistisk byggnad i det som brukar kallas för brutalistisk stil. Vi tog avstamp i Spartas inre struktur för att fullfölja en urbant begriplig idé, där Spartas inre och yttre stråk fortsatte i vårt område. Detta grepp skapade en kvartersstruktur med tre inre gårdar år väster för den nya bebyggelsen.
För att ansluta till Sparta och övrig bebyggelse i området föreslog vi tegel som fasadmaterial mot omgivande gator och platser. Fasaden mot Scheelevägen är 125 m lång och utgör i sammanhanget en stor skala. Vi föreslog att byggnaderna skulle muras med tegel i olika kulörer för att bryta ner skalan och skapa mindre byggnadsvolymer. Tegelkulörerna valdes för att ansluta till Spartas brunröda tegel och grå betong. För att ytterligare bryta ner skalan, använde vi olika storlekar på fönster och burspråk, som till synes slumpvis skapar fasader som beskriver mindre delar i helheten. Lägenheterna på bottenvåningen mot Scheelevägen fick egna entréer som också bryter ner skalan och ger liv åt gatumiljön.
Projektet ger, med sin tegelarkitektur, en fin helhet på platsen. Det är modernt men har anpassats till den storskaliga plats som utgjorde själva tomten.

Återhållsamt elegant med RT 475
Kv. Draken i östra Malmö gestaltades av Fojab Arkitekter. Murpoolen i Skåne AB utförde murningen där Granitor var byggentreprenör. Combimix levererade murbruket till fasaden.
Fojab berättar om gestaltningen,
Byggnaden kläs i en yttre fasad av RT 475 Prima Bari. Teglet ges en omsorgsfull detaljering med rullskift och olika djup på luftspalten, som bildar pilastrar och förtydligar vertikalitet. I indrag och slitsar bryts materialbehandlingen till ljusa fibercementskivor. Principen med mörkt mot ljust går igen i bl.a fönster, räckesdetaljer, stuprännor och krönplåtar.
Gestaltningen är återhållsamt elegant och förhåller sig till torget på ett stadsmässigt vis. Sockelvåningens generösa glaspartier redovisar lokalernas publika och utåtriktade funktioner och hjälper till att aktivera torgytan.
Prima är en serie slaget tegel som har genomgått en varierad förädlingsprocess.

At first sight, the facade of this white gem in Germany may look simple. But no detail is coincidental, and bold choices are the result of an exclusive and extraordinary expression that stands out in the residential area.
The format is dimensional which adds depth to the overall impression. The bonding is characteristic, while large sections of windows in different formats, vertical and horizontal, unite indoors and outdoors.
Ultima RT 154 comprises a significant element. The light-tinted white color makes room for every other beautiful and thought-out detail and is just like a symbol of the overall impression of the house; pure, clean, and timeless
