Cobe and Yellon win competition to design a new residential tower at Stockholm’s historic gasworks
Danish architectural studio Cobe and Swedish multidisciplinary studio Yellon have won a competition to design “Stadsljus”, a new residential tower rising 110 meters (361 feet) above sea level, to be built on the site of Stockholm’s former historic gasworks. A project for OBOS, one of Scandinavia’s largest housing developers, and the City of Stockholm, Stadsljus — meaning "City Light" — is set to redefine Stockholm’s mainly low-rise city fabric. The tower’s circular shape is inspired by and pays homage to the historic gasworks’ gasometers (gasholders).

One hundred seventy square meters of glass roof let the whole sky into the building. It’s all rather simple. A square filled with molded skylights. Two meters wide and two meters high. Two straight walls and two leaning. All the way up in the building a thin glass membrane separates inside from outside. Below, the light plays exactly the way we want it.
