🌟 Welcome to the Radiant Realm of Ursvik Entrance: Where Architecture Meets Possibilities! 🌟
Behold the marvel that graces the E18—a mesmerizing, undulating spectacle stretching almost half a kilometer. Enter Ursvik Entré, a symbol of endless possibilities and a testament to architectural brilliance.
Ursvik Entré, once known as Bankhus 90, emerged in Rissne, Sundbyberg municipality, at the border with Stockholm municipality. Born from the creative vision of SEB Fastigheter and Rosenbergs Arkitektkontor AB in 1989–1992, this iconic office property, with its distinctive winding facade, stands as a prominent feature in Stockholm's northern entrance landscape, precisely at the Enköpingsvägen/Ulvsundavägen intersection.
From its grandeur on the ground to its recognizable shape in the skies, Ursvik Entré captivates the observer. The northwest side, facing Ulvsundavägen, boasts a smooth facade adorned with white square tiles, interrupted only by four vertical bands with bay windows. A breathtaking display of architectural finesse! On the southeast side, the building transforms into smaller units, architecturally termed pavilions, featuring light beige clinker tiles and stainless steel, creating a dynamic visual feast.
A gallery path gracefully weaves through the entire structure, connecting entrance halls, pavilions, dining rooms, and stairwells. Glazed stairwells in each gable contribute to the building's allure. Flexibility defines the interior, offering easily adaptable office spaces for approximately 3,000 individuals. The basement and 2008-introduced parking garage cater to over 1,200 vehicles.
With a sprawling 86,869 m2 footprint, Ursvik Entré is a testament to architectural prowess, earning the esteemed Concrete Element Association's Architecture Prize in 1992. The marriage of sustainability and health is evident, with environmental certifications such as BREEAM in use – Very Good and Excellent-level customer adaptations.
Embracing green initiatives, solar cells grace the rooftop alongside bustling beehives. The gym, centrally located, invites health and wellness, complete with a sports hall, changing rooms, and showers, catering to staff cyclists and offering certified charging points for electric cars and bicycles.
