An island shaped by change
In the early 1900s, Lilla Essingen changed fundamentally. From being a rural idyll with summer houses and lush gardens, the island soon attracted some of Sweden’s most prominent industries.
When Electrolux and Primus established their factories here, Lilla Essingen was filled with life and movement. Electrolux, with its modern household appliances, and Primus, whose paraffin stove became world famous, left their mark on both the cityscape and everyday life.
As the industrial era came to an end, new opportunities for change emerged. Green parks and bathing jetties are replacing the factory buildings, and cafes and restaurants are giving new life to the area. This is where Ljusablick will now be part of Stockholm’s new city skyline.
Here you live within reach of the city centre, but with the reflections of Lake Mälaren’s as your closest neighbour. Boat clubs and bathing jetties testify to the island’s strong ties to the lake. If you dream of boating, there are plenty of opportunities to secure a private mooring.
On the outside, the sweeping shapes of the facade elements and balconies are striking. The material palette is coherent but refined, with white concrete in different wave shapes and light terrazzo in the details. The facade is almost classic, but the architecture is nevertheless clearly contemporary.
The architects tell the story
Behind Ljusablick are Anders Hiller and Fredrik Evensen at Hermansson Hiller Lundberg Arkitekter, an office known for combining the history of architecture with contemporary expressions.
When you arrive home, you are welcomed by the soft lines of the facade and a beautiful play of light across the balconies, which are embraced by the curves of the house. The apartments have classic floor plans and let in a fantastic amount of light, as they are either corner apartments or dual aspect. All have spacious balconies facing the water or the courtyard and large social rooms for socialising. Large windows elegantly frame the changing view. As a resident, you get the best of three worlds: A waterfront atmosphere, urban life and a verdant courtyard.
Meet Lotta Agaton
Lotta Agaton is the founder and Creative Director of one of Scandinavia’s leading interior design studios and has collaborated with Patriam on several projects.
What makes Patriam’s projects interesting from an interior design perspective?
I really appreciate that there is always a focus on quality and design that is rarely seen in new development today. This makes it much easier and more fun to create a nice interior.
What was your thinking behind the interior design concept for Ljusablick?
A major focus was on creating a beautiful colour palette that feels unique and personal. It’s neutral yet warm, with tones from beige to brown and hints of light oak.
What do you hope the residents feel when they move in?
I hope they feel that the foundation is well thought out and that it’s easy for them to put their own personal touch in the apartment. A good palette of colours and materials makes all the difference, and I wanted to create a feeling of warmth when you step into the apartments at Ljusablick.
A home that makes everyday life easier and shines at parties
The social spaces at Ljusablick are created with everyday life in focus. It’s not just about making your home look good – it’s also about making it work in everyday life. The open plans connect the kitchen and living room and make it easy to socialise. A large dining table can be a natural gathering point, just as obviously for children’s homework as for dinner with friends. The colour and material choices are made with care to last over time. The neutral, warm colour palette provides a uniform look and makes it easy for the new resident to add their own style. The materials are of high quality and age beautifully, which means that the home retains its character and feel year after year.
The outdoor spaces are designed as a natural extension of the home. There’s room to create your own oasis with pots filled with greenery and herbs, or with soft armchairs for long, relaxing moments in the evening sun. For those who love to invite people to dinner, there’s room for a generous table. Small details, such as atmospheric lighting that allows the space to be used well into the evening.
The luxurious bathrooms have been thought through down to the last detail, all to make them a pleasant place for recuperation. Vanity unit with integrated basin in solid surface and mixer tap in chrome. Tiles and walls in the shower area are in Bricmate Jura Ivory, which gives a sense of calm elegance. Washing and dryer from Smeg.
The bedrooms are timelessly decorated for a relaxing and calming feeling. Tactile textiles and a natural colour palettes create an inviting haven for rest. Single-plank oak parquette flooring. All apartments have spacious storage in the form of wardrobes and walk-in closets. The wardrobes have smooth lacquered doors and handles in Chalk White. Frames, open storage and shelves are in Dark Oak.
The kitchen’s open layout provides plenty of space for both cooking and socialising. The cabinet fronts are available in sand or dark brown, and the worktop and splash guard are in limestone Jura Grey. All kitchens are equipped with Smeg appliances: a fully integrated fridge, freezer and dishwasher and an induction hob with integrated fan and convection oven. There’s room for both intimate and grandiose dinners. The kitchen gives a harmonious and calm impression. All apartments have floor-to-ceiling windows, which provide both a wonderful inflow of light and a spectacular view.
Sun, views and freedom
At the top of the building, on level 7, there are two generous penthouses. Here you take the lift straight up to your private entrance. What the apartments have in common are generously sized social areas for cooking and socialising, and well-planned bedrooms where the master bedroom offers both an ensuite bathroom and a walk-in closet for a luxurious hotel feel at home.
The penthouses have spacious terraces with the option of an outdoor kitchen and hot tub. Here you can enjoy sunlight from morning to evening, relax with a book, or create a lush oasis with plants and herbs. There is plenty of space for cosy summer coffees and wonderful parties, all with a fantastic view over the water, city and greenery, with the light flowing freely into your home.
