Sickla Central
Office property in Stockholm
With its 25 stories, Sickla Central is Sickla’s first truly tall building. A landmark that both stands out and blends into its surroundings. Sickla is part of Nacka, which is growing and developing rapidly. Here, residential and commercial properties as well as new infrastructure are being built. Sickla Central will serve as an important link between Nacka and Stockholm, cutting travel times to and from downtown in half.

Sickla Central offers modern office space in a prime location in southern Stockholm, just a 7-minute commute to Kungsträdgården once the new subway line opens. The station will become a major transportation hub in the future, with a very high volume of both transfer passengers and visitors to the neighborhood. The building’s ground floor features escalators leading directly down to the platforms and direct access to the platforms for the Tvärbanan and Saltsjöbanan lines.
The lower levels of the office building feature a coworking space with flexible workstations designed for modern work life, complementing the permanent workstations in the rest of the building. This new landmark also includes services and retail spaces, and the upper floors house restaurants and meeting spaces.
The rooftop terrace outside the restaurant on the 11th floor offers perhaps the city’s most spectacular view south of south, with an unparalleled vista of central Stockholm. This is the best spot for business meetings, a long-awaited after-work get-together, or—why not?—a glass of wine at sunset.
The dark copper tone of the facade has clear connections to Sickla’s older industrial architecture. The verticality of the facades plays off the character of the older industrial architecture, and the varying heights of the offset, stacked volumes link the new building to the heights of the existing buildings in the surrounding blocks. The orientations of the immediate area are captured by the angles of the various volumes, which together shape the new urban spaces formed on the site.
At 115 meters above sea level, Sickla Central also offers a glimpse of the growing city’s new skyline. The upcoming high-rise buildings to be constructed along the new subway line will form a string of tall buildings between downtown and Nacka Center.
Sickla Central is Kanozi’s response to Atrium Ljungberg and the Municipality of Nacka’s vision for a dense, attractive city. It is a building that fosters connections between people and sets the stage for the workplaces and transportation systems of the future.

We gave the assignment to Kanozi because both we and Nacka Municipality thought their proposal was the best. The 25-storey building will rise as the obvious centerpiece of Sickla. A new landmark with staggering possibilities and views of the entire city.
