Lamination

Hammarby Sjöstad is situated in Stockholm.
During early 2000 Hammarby Sjöstad went through a major expansion and transformation. Today it is an eco-friendly part of Stockholm.

In early 2000 I got a public commision to give two of the houses a stronger identity through the use of colour and material.
Because large parts of the building was built in glass I wanted the front of the house to be a compliment to the back of the house.
I wanted to achieve an interplay between the two parts.

I therefor chose transparent materials like paper, perforated paper and lightfilters to maintain the semitransparent quality that I wanted to achieve.
