Bridge Apaté (STOCKHOLM, SWEDEN)1998-2002

One of the first bridges in the world to be constructed entirely from stainless steel, Bridge Apatê overlooks the recently refurbished area of Hammarby Sjöstad in Stockholm. The winning entry of an invited international competition, the bridge went on to not only receive a financial grant from the City of Stockholm due to its exemplary sustainability characteristics, but also to win the Swedish Steel Design Award 2003 as the most innovative steel construction in Sweden. The bridge’s highly asymmetric section draws attention to its pioneering structural profile: a horisontal

expression that mirrors that of the Älandsfjärden Bridge project. Collaboration with Jelena Mijanovic, Magnus Ståhl, Tyréns, Scandiaconsult, and Stålmonteringar AB Stålab.

Bridge Älandsfjärden (HÄRNÖSAND, SWEDEN)2002-2003

An entry for an invited competition, where the brief was to design a 1,000 meter long railway bridge above Älandsfjärden near the city of Härnösand in northern Sweden, this project fuses an aesthetic vision with sustainable concerns. It was conceived as being made entirely from stainless steel and curved in plan as well as in section. Using the low width – a mere seven meters – to our full advantage, we put the steel beams on both sides of the track, creating a slimmer profile whilst building a noise barrier and achieveing a higher free height beneath the bridge. The advanced acoustic design

creates an incredibly silent solution, while the structure halves the usual number of supports needed. The inventive use of gabions also makes this scheme a precursor to the Highway 73 project.

Bridge Sundsvall (SUNDSVALL, SWEDEN)1995

The city of Sundsvall held an invited competition in 1995 for the design of a motorway bridge which would cross the water of Sundsvallsfjärden. Together with Magnus Ståhl and Håkan Persson we designed a bridge which would span 600m with a horisontal structure. This became a prestudy for the later Apatê bridge. The bridge was awarded 4th prize with Santiago Calatrava on 3rd place and Norman Foster was given an honorable mention.

Bridge LP400 (FLORENCE, ITALY)2006

The city of Florence held an invited competition in 2006 for the design of two motorway bridges which would cross River Argo. Together with Tyréns we designed a bridge which would be flood-proof. You drive through the concrete construction which lets light in through a marble pattern.
