Courtyard with view
In the heart of Göteborg’s Majorna district, the Brf. Takgöken complex features a brick island incorporating 127 flats by Krook & Tjäder, Gothenburg.The buildings are of varying heights forming an inner courtyard, a real place of conviviality creating the common thread running through the architectural project.
From this courtyard, the facades offer a contemporary interpretation of the governor’s houses characteristic of this part of the city. The base remains in brick, while the upper floors feature 1,400m2 of Sinus corrugated profile in PIGMENTO® blue.
