From C.F. Møller:

‘Alviks Torn is a sculptural housing complex designed to bring identity to the district – and thereby, to Stockholm. The site lies in a prominent location towards the archipelago, and forms a transition zone between the city and the landscape, which has inspired the architecture.

The development – a fractured block of approximately nine stories and a landmark 21-story tower divided into two parts – draws its shape and lines from the steepness and structure of the mountains bordering the lake Mälaren.

The form secures each residence a maximum of daylight and view. At the same time, the solution provides free areas which can be used as squares or open spaces – such as a viewing level near the water, and a central square oriented towards the city. The open spaces unite the life of the city with transparent, public-oriented areas at street level.’
