This architectural concept has been proposed by Anders Berensson Architects to transform one or two of twelve big power towers in central Stockholm into picnic towers with a magnificent view over the park and the city of Stockholm.
Architect: Anders Berensson Architects
Location: Stockholm, Sweden
Project's description: Anders Berensson Architects has been commissioned by the Kungl Djurgårdens förvaltning ( Swedish Royal Court ) to investigate the future of twelve big power towers which are no longer in use and stands in the urban national park Norra Djurgården in central Stockholm. ABA proposes to transform one or two of them into picnic towers with a magnificent view over the park and the city of Stockholm.
The towers are constructed to carry heavy power lines over the tree tops in the park making them strong enough to hold platforms and high enough to give a great view. The added stairs and platforms are made in wood to reduce weight and to contrast to the old structure. The towers are designed with a kiosk in the lower levels that can sell snacks and beverages for the picnic and also open and close the towers for the public at summertime.
