The plot is situated in Limhamn, a residential area in Malmö that used to be a cement factory and industrial harbour. The plot houses three large silos, the last remains of Limhamns industrial past. The main task of the invited competition was how to deal with the silos while developing the area with a set, and large, amount of sellable square meters. Our proposal was to demolish two of the three silos, keeping one as a general space that also emphasises its symbolic value. The new development was divided into a tower of 24 floors connected via a sky-bridge to a roof top garden on top of a lower slab and complemented with row houses and a pavilion. The competition was made in collaboration with 51N4e who provided a strategy how to start the project immediately with restaurants, gardens and different cultural activities while waiting for the final approval of the plan that usually takes many years.
