STRAND
FROM DULL ROCKET WORKSHOP TO INSPIRING FUTURE NEIGHBORHOOD

Photographer: Gonzalo Irigoyen C

A guided tour of the neighborhood that transformed from a gray rocket workshop into a place for everyone with nature right at the doorstep. From hopelessly outdated and gloomy to a vibrant architectural gem.

Join us in exploring the transformation where four blue-marked 1980s buildings, constructed using postmodern and brutalist concrete building techniques, have been preserved—and transformed. Through careful renovation and bold extensions, a place has been created that is enjoyable and impressive. Additionally, see what can be done with an old rocket workshop and learn about Solna Strand’s connection to a red cabin on the moon.

Come, and we’ll tell you all about it.

Meeting point outside Thelins.
