Notskriften Housing / Joliark

Notskriften. At the historic industrial area of Munktell and the Eskilstuna river lies the housing block of Notskriften. Originating from its context, an intricate and innovative residential district has taken shape. The Munktell area is characterized by large scale industrial workshop buildings, hardened streets, and brick façades displaying beautiful workmanship. Taking this vernacular as inspiration Notskriften consists of two houses of 3-4 floors incorporating modern requirements and techniques to deliver a fresh and contemporary interpretation of Munktellstaden’s characteristics. The project, in its basic structure, consists of two stacked 4 room duplex apartments where the ground floor dwelling has a small garden plot and the apartment above has a large private roof terrace.
