white arkitekter has completed ‘stockholm waterfront’, a congress center located in the heart of stockholm, sweden. positioned adjacent to central station and alongthe riddarfjärden bay, the layered and undulating structure acts as a clear divisionin the skyline between the historic city center and the dynamic new business district.

programmatic functions – including a conference hall, office building and four-star hotel – required a site much larger than the triangular plot of land allotted, a detail that commanded the overall design. subdivided into three varying properties, the facility features a combination of intersecting volumes that slowly expand beyond the confines of the site.

contouring, ribbon-like sheets encircle and enclose the main unit, implementing a sense of movement with the static form. suspended over the entrance, the organic form which houses a congress hall, becomes the primary focus of the entire facility. wrapped in a reflective veil of stainless steel strips, the outer shell hovers away from the structure, further developing the center’s distinctive character.
