Slussen Plan C

Over the last couple of years, great resources have been spent to come up with a plan for the future of the Slussen area in central Stockholm. Despite the efforts, the citizens of Stockholm have not yet been offered the solution they deserve. This is why we have developed Slussen Plan C, that combines form and function and gently pushes Slussen into the future.

An elegant steel construction embraces and extends the existing cloverleaf interchange. The different parts of Slussen are connected by heated pedestrian walkways and intermingled with the light organic shapes are observation decks, cafes and a two lane tunnel.

Respectful Preservation

As opposed to other presented solutions, the main focus of Slussen Plan C is respectful preservation. Existing buildings, such as the Strömmen restaurant and the historically significant Kolingsborg are entirely preserved and discretely embraced by light steel shapes.

A Timeless Landmark

Together with the space defining pedestrian walkways, the central dome with its distinctive architectural character forms a whole that defines the future identity of Slussen. Not only does Slussen Plan C offer a viable solution in terms of transport planning, but also adds a unique and refreshing component to the Stockholm skyline.

Humans First

Slussen Plan C puts human beings first. Heated walkways with robust doors offer protection from the sometimes harsh Stockholm climate and allow for easy access to the different parts of the Slussen area. The generous windows offer pedestrians scenic views of Riddarfjärden, Djurgården, the old town and the hills of Södermalm.
