In 1930, the world famous architect Sigurd Lewerentz designed a warehouse for Philips on Gävlegatan in Stockholm. In this building, we’ve now gotten the opportunity to team up with Wingårdhs, and under the leadership of star architect Gert Wingårdh create a contemporary hotel with a design concept based on the history of Lewerentz and the heritage he left behind.
The beautiful concrete building has a strictly repetitive façade and urban material. This former warehouse was designed in the 1930s by Sigurd Lewerentz – one of Sweden's most famous architects. Lewerentz knew how to combine modernity with centuries-old history, and thereby make his work timeless. Blique by Nobis is no exception.
Almost 50 years after Lewerentz's death, the international interest in his buildings started growing tremendously. His eye for details and the ability to remove unnecessities started fascinating architecture enthusiasts all around the world. Simplicity, elegance and careful choices of materials are characteristics for his buildings.
