Glasvasen offices located behind Malmö Central Station in Inre Hamnen, a district of Malmö the capital of Scania, in Øresund, Sweden.
The Veidekke company were commissioned by Jernhusen to build Glasvasen, a new office building with unique architecture. The building has one of Malmö's best office locations alongside the Central Station.
It is in the form of an organic sculptural glass vase, designed in a very modern architecture designed by Kanozi Architects.
One of the challenges was to get the relatively small volume of concrete walls around stairwells and elevators to cope with the structural stability of the building. The solution was to mix cast-in-place constructions with Prefab and clamp these together with several tie rods and high requirements for waterproofing in the foundation.
The glass façade hangs in the arch edges outside the building and the fastening is specially developed for the project. The glasses are a combination of different glasses, some with sun protection blinds, and many fins that protrude from the facade. These have LED lighting that shines through the fins. The challenge was also the architect's idea of how the façade should be designed to meet energy requirements and sun protection.
The project included a six-storey office building that contains 6,000 square meters of office space and almost 1,000 square meters of retail space on the street level, as well as a parking garage. The flexible office floor plan can, depending on the tenants' wishes, accommodate a total of up to 600 workplaces. At street level, shops, restaurants, and a café are planned.
Glasvasen is also an environmentally smart building with a focus on low energy consumption and sustainable material selection. It contains several high-tech innovative solutions ensuring environmental certification.
