about the tower

As a part of the new FOLKETORNEN (peoples towers) development, STENSTATORNEN stands between the culturally isolated disctricts of Spånga and Tensta. Acting as a socio-economic bridge between the two neighborhoods, STENSTATORNEN heals a disconnected rift and establishes a new, unified district where both native and immigrant cultures are celebrated and connected.

As both a cultural center and office complex, STENSTATORNEN turns the typical caked skyscraper into a tower of porous programmatic districts that bleed together, connecting and integrating users while honoring the self-sufficiency of each program block.

program is organized in a scheme of disctricts. rather than clustering program into caked layers, users experience a new diversity and accessibility of program in all locations of the tower.

interplay of express elevators and secondary circulation form porous districts, disolving horizontal segregation and encouraging inter-user and inter-program movement and interaction.

office modules, program placement, and circulation systems cooperate to break the current segregation of its site and provide a maximum interaction of user and culture and nationality.
