A home away from home, a place to return to or an experience to share. Today, hotels and restaurants play an obvious role as destinations and identity markers. We have extensive experience in designing these environments and in each new project we challenge ourselves to add value beyond the expected. The Avalon Hotel won an award as Gothenburg's most beautiful building and a listed post office became the new living room for the people of Gothenburg. From concept to detailed solution, a whole that is both felt and seen. 

Hospitality

The appearance of a room does not only determine how you use it. It also determines how you experience it - what associations it evokes. Does it create expectation or does it provide security? Does it build a brand, increase awareness of a company and enable the client to attract more customers - who are prepared to pay a little more? Emotion and reason, design and economics - everything comes together when we build new, rebuild or adapt old to new. We master most standards and certifications, we know how to control costs, find key figures and optimize. And how flows and structures work. Just as we know which designs and materials will last and look good. From the start and over time.

Interior design

Tenants want smaller and more efficient spaces that suit modern working practices. Property owners want to build flexibility into their premises to prevent them from going unrented. The smarter we design a workplace, the better the people who work there feel. And the better they perform. Designing and adapting workplaces based on changing needs is not only business smart. If we plan correctly from the start and use sustainable materials, think circularly and adaptively, it is also a win-win for both people and the environment.

Officies

Enjoying your home and the area where you live is perhaps the most important thing for most people. Of course, homes should be smartly planned, commercially produced and with decent materials. But it is also about creating attractive areas and houses that confirm people's dreams and lifestyles. That include, feel safe, attractive and yes, wonderful to live in. And not least, it's about developing concepts that are financially successful, both in the short term and from a sustainability and management perspective.

Residential

Semrén &amp; Månsson has extensive experience of designing buildings for care, health and learning that support society. Whether the assignment is a hospital, a specialist center or a preschool, we always put people and their needs and experiences at the center. With sensual architecture that is at the same time maximally functional, we want to support the patient's recovery, arouse the curiosity of the pupil, and make the doctor's, nurse's or special educator's everyday life a little smoother. Not least in the most high-tech environments. To help us, we have cutting-edge digital project support and specialist knowledge in areas such as accessibility. 

Social facilities

This requires the collaboration of many skills: formal skills such as architects, urban planners, digital specialists, economists and sustainability strategists. But it can also be informal skills and experiences that residents, users and other stakeholders possess and that are utilized through various multi- and transdisciplinary dialogues and collaborations. The goal is always more urban quality, higher quality of life - economically and ecologically sustainable. Success comes when we analyze geographical, social, environmental and economic conditions and lay the foundation for long-term, sustainable and economically viable strategies. 

Urban development

<p>Our offer and expertise ranges from putting words and images to a fleeting idea in an early concept, through the entire process of shaping the ideas to implementing the projects until a person moves in. We design small and large projects, for private clients, large companies or municipalities. We design environments on all scales and we have been at it for quite some time. For over 50 years, we have gained experience of what actually works or not. For people and for those who have to pay.

Karlaplan-Kitchen-16x9

Karlaplan 2 is one of Sweden's most exclusive addresses, where we have transformed an old technology property into 17 unique homes.

<p>Karlaplan is the hub of Östermalm&#8217;s esplanade system, where five streets meet to form a star-shaped avenue. It is also home to one of Sweden&#8217;s most exclusive housing projects at one of Stockholm&#8217;s most prestigious addresses. At Karlaplan number 2, the classic and sober meets a modern and stripped-down design thanks to the fact that we were given the task of transforming an old and ancient technical property into 17 modern, unique and exclusive homes.</p>

<p>The apartments are housed in a turn-of-the-century building that, when built, was intended to house Stockholm&#8217;s largest telegraph station. The Telegraph Authority constructed the building in 1917-1922 and was then an essential hub for communication and the latest technology.</p>
<p>Several exciting details have characterised the building&#8217;s history. In times of war, for example, messages crossing the country&#8217;s borders were intercepted and deciphered. The architect behind the building, L J Lehming, ensured that the building at Karlaplan 2 blended in with its surroundings to not reveal that the inside was home to an essential and sometimes secret activity. More recently, the Telemuseum was located at the same address but eventually became an office.</p>


<p>The transformation of Telegrafhuset is based on the building&#8217;s original turn-of-the-century character but has been given a modern touch. In collaboration with stylist Lotta Agaton, we developed two exclusive concepts for the residents: a lighter, minimalist and monolithic one and a darker one with clean, modern lines. The façade facing the street has been preserved and carefully renovated in consultation with an antiquarian. The original windows have also been preserved and restored to meet today&#8217;s sound requirements instead of being replaced.</p>


<p>The farmhouse, the so-called Ateljén, which is quietly located in the courtyard, was built in the 1970s on the site of an older farmhouse. The building had a rougher and more industrial feel than the other buildings but has now been given a new, robust, modern design. A beautiful garden was also created in the 1970s by one of the leading landscape architects of his time, Walter Bauer. The garden was re-established as part of the redevelopment.</p>

In the heart of popular Söder in Varberg is Brf. Kavaljeren, 36 modern homes that provide an extra golden edge for residents and the area.

<p>In the heart of coveted Söder in Varberg, small-scale residential neighbourhoods are interspersed with modern apartment buildings. Here is also Brf. Kavaljeren &#8211; 36 modern homes where craftsmanship, sustainable solutions, good material choices and care put an extra edge on life for both the residents and the area.</p>

<h3>Buildings that stand the test of time</h3>
<p>Brf Kavaljeren is characterised by a classic design with modern and sustainable elements. By acting as the common thread through all project phases &#8211; from detailed planning to finished building as both architect and project manager &#8211; we have ensured the result early. The project has actively made sustainable choices in the form of good quality, long-lasting materials, energy efficiency through solar cells on the roof and an effort to create favourable conditions for biodiversity in the courtyard. Externally, the buildings are clad in sand-coloured, patterned brick and natural stone plinths that run up along bright and welcoming entrances.</p>


<h3>Interiors beyond the ordinary</h3>
<p>Inside, you&#8217;ll find extraordinary qualities. Extra ceiling height, generous storage, and fine details such as underfloor heating instead of radiators mean that the glass sections can be made higher and let in more light. All homes have at least one patio or glazed balcony framing the courtyard &#8211; some with sea views. Our interior designer, Johanna Vestlin, developed two interior design concepts for the condominiums. The basic design, Air Serenity, is inspired by Nordic light, with soft tones and natural materials. In addition, the buyers have had the opportunity to be inspired by the Earth Harmony concept with its bolder and trendier style. The feel is rustic and timelessly luxurious, with round shapes and tighter monolithic elements.</p>

A stone's throw from Varberg centre, at the tip of Östra Långgatan/Södra Vägen, is Kv. Kvarnliden. A block with characteristic gable roofs and facades clad in wood, brick and natural stone, reflecting the character of the traditional wooden town of Varberg. The residential buildings contain 85 apartments - most of which are so-called youth apartments for people aged 18-24.

<p>Kvarnliden houses 85 apartments ranging from 1.5 to 4 rooms and kitchens. In the neighbourhood, common areas are given great focus, with several intelligent solutions. Opportunities for social interaction lay the foundation for a sense of community that strengthens personal responsibility and facilitates management. As a further step in the overall approach to sustainability, car parking is not prioritised. However, bicycle use is promoted, for example, with a developed bicycle room with opportunities for washing, repairs and socialising.</p>


<p style="text-align: center;">The vision. And completed.</p>


<p>The Kvarnliden block uses the possibilities of digitalisation in all project phases. For example, simulations, energy, and operational analyses are used instead of starting from templates. In close collaboration with Zynka BIM, a digital twin of the project is created, which means that ownership of all data is also taken. This future-proofs both the construction and management of the property. It can be as simple but practical for residents as making the entire property keyless. Something that facilitates and benefits both tenants and management work.</p>

The new Clarion Copenhagen Airport Hotel was transformed step by step by Semrén & Månsson.

<p>A thoughtful interior design concept combining sumptuous style and hospitable comfort. The hotel, which previously belonged to another chain, became part of the Clarions portfolio following renovations and was renamed the Clarion Copenhagen Airport Hotel. The previously non-functional first floor was transformed into private zones with restaurants, a bar and a lounge, while on the upper floor, the former VIP spaces were converted into exclusive hotel rooms with four-meter-high ceilings and a unique atmosphere.</p>


Clarion Copenhagen Airport Hotel

clarion-kastrup-interior-hero-16x9jpg

Clarion-Kastrup-interior-hero-16x9jpg

<p>The hotel used to belong to another chain and was the only option for accommodations at the airport. It was a place mostly frequented by business travelers in order to save time, do a little work, have a meeting, eat and sleep. It was functional, practical and predictable, but altogether a little soulless.</p>
<p>Today, the Clarion Copenhagen Airport Hotel makes a completely different impression. It has become warm and inviting. The first thing that strikes the guest’s eye is the sophisticated play between the interior design, the lighting, the materials and the individual. The turquoise bar, sparkling like a precious stone. The guests: some sit chatting in the corner, others are hunched over working on their laptops, and still others are drinking cocktails on the barstools. Here, dreams are intermingled with excitement, firm handshakes – with feverish travel, and laughter – with nervous expectation.</p>
<p>– The atmosphere! It’s homey and it’s fantastic. That’s why the guests return, says Izumi Takasu Brette, lead architect on the project.</p>

<p>The new owners wanted to give the hotel a fresh look – without starting from scratch. Another condition was the hotel’s continued operation during repairs. Consequently, making delicate changes wasn’t just logical but dictated by necessity.</p>
<p>The first challenge Semrén &amp; Månsson tackled was giving the lobby a modern look. The spaces at the entrance level were somewhat cavernous and ill-defined, leaving this part of the hotel feeling a bit cold and difficult to navigate. At the same time, the primary materials were of good quality and durable, such as hardwood and stone, including metallic and wood floors, so they were kept as the basis for the future design.</p>


<h3>Business meetings, networking and esthetic pleasure from the rooms</h3>


<p>The hotel is a popular spot for business meetings near Copenhagen, so Semrén &amp; Månsson decided to make the conference portion visible right from the entrance. The first floor was also gradually added with the markings of the Clarion hotel chain and given a conceptual restaurant by Marcus Samuelsson: Kitchen &amp; Table. The design of the restaurant was augmented with details intended to complement the rest of the décor.</p>
<p>– The design concept boiled down to dividing the space into smaller zones with different themes that would continue to be interconnected. It’s an informal, modern place for meetings, where people truly enjoy their stay and can avoid the stress of travel, says Birgitte Mordt.</p>
<p>The Clarion Living Room consists of spaces with various types of leisure zones. Each zone is imbued with its own visual look that still remains tied to the larger whole. The varied lighting accentuates shapes and colors, while many details were specially developed for this particular hotel.</p>
<p>The renovations gave the hotel the Clarion look, with its modern design accents, by adding elegant lines and classic, enduring elements – all without capital repairs. The updates that the project’s chief architect, Birgitte Mordt, is happiest with include the twelfth floor. The Semrén &amp; Månsson designers transformed it from a rarely-used VIP space into five exclusive hotel rooms.</p>
<p>– The expansiveness of the four-meter ceiling height gave the rooms the atmosphere that we had imagined. The rooms are elegant and cozy modern classics with a little flair. As a hotel guest, you’re pleasantly surprised when you first open the door to such a room, where esthetic enjoyment awaits you inside,” confides Birgitte Mordt.</p>

<p>Once a hotel and watering hole for the celebrity elite &#8211; it is now offices. With new welcoming entrances, street-level shops and a strong focus on sustainability, the Swedish Grace gem in one of Stockholm&#8217;s best locations is getting a loving makeover.</p>


Kungsgatan 57

<p>Kungsgatan 57 is, in many ways, a unique address. It&#8217;s a 1920s property with the features of a city palace. It was initially built as a hotel and is frequented by celebrities such as Ella Fitzgerald and Count Basie. In the 1960s, it was home to one of Stockholm&#8217;s first English pubs, designed by prominent architect Peter Celsing. And until recently, Semrén &amp; Månsson had its Stockholm office here. The move has taken place, but we have not yet completely cut the ties. On behalf of Axfast and in close cooperation with the architectural heritage officer, we are making the listed property ready for new glory days and, at the same time, opening up the block to the area around Gamla Brogatan.</p>


With the keywords long-term and sustainability, we have given the Swedish Grace gem in one of Stockholm's best locations a loving makeover. Read more here!
