KKA (Kjellgren Kaminsky Architecture) designed a new office building for the steel manufacturer, Lecor. The building is situated in Kungälv, Sweden which is 10 kilometers north of Gothenburg. Lecor builds advanced steel constructions and of course they like to show their skills in their own building. This combined with the opportunity of creating a landmark building visible for the nearby highway has been the starting points of KKA’s design process. Building is planned to commence during 2011. More images and project description after the break.
The building, which houses the Lecor headquarters, includes offices, dining area/kitchenette, meeting rooms, a library and changing rooms. KKA worked with materials, colors and textures in various ways that can be associated with the steel industry and its traditions. The colors remain mostly in a soft pastel scale and white shades as they have followed the principle to “drape” the whole room in one and the same color.
