Concept - Göteborg is built on very hilly lands and is full of rocky slopes. - Those rocks have been un-explored. Since until now no fitting solution was found to solve the difficulties within reasonable costs.

Potentials of the hill slopes

- in order to densify the city further, we consider it essential to tap the full potential of those “forgotten lands”

Difficulties of the hill slopes

Potentials of the hill slopes

- hard conditions for foundations, needs specialised solutions for each building

- densifying the city and exploring central and valuable land

- high costs

- interesting buildings in levels, use and connections

- destruction of the hills natural shape and recreational green areas

- chance to develop new connections/ infrastructure in the city

-change of nice public ground into private ground

- chance to create new high quality urban space eg.terraces

Ventilation adn Facade The thin building and a double facade allows a good climate management and constant ventilation throught the ﬂats. We two sides of the building have two different facades.

- the wintergardens are connected to the ﬂats touching the rock. They are unheated and create the connection to the environment, as the rock is visible inside of the ﬂat. (see wingardhs example)

Public Space Our aim is to create a very vibrant urban space, inviting a great variety of users. Regarding this we have to take care about a pleasant design and social issues regarding safety and accessibility. Accesibility Since the building should be used by everyone, accessibility is a key issue on this floor. Our vertical building is difficult in this regards. Therefore the big elevator is built in.

Therefore we decided to leave the ﬂoor open and to be supported by a light and interesting steel structure carring a terrace.

Connection At this point the common people are entering the building. It is supposed to be inviting and representative.

A key problem of the ground ﬂoor is, that we have little groundspace. This is due to the adjacient build environment, the particular shape of our building and aswell the idea of not disturbing the nature/the rock to much.
