Our assignment includes the design of the site&#8217;s urban spaces and streets, as well as their connections to the surrounding city. Extensive analyses and studies of traffic, mooring, accessibility, stormwater and torrential rain have played an important role throughout the design process.\nThe project and landscape design contribute to the City of Gothenburg&#8217;s vision of bringing the city closer to the water and strengthening the city centre. The main idea of the proposal was to transform the currently barren, empty and paved quay environment into green spaces with urban life and opportunities to engage with the water. The urban spaces around Kaj 16 are designed to support city life, with greenery, seating areas, smaller spaces and bicycle parking. By creating a pleasant and attractive environment that supports the public activities within the building, we aim to create a space that can become a destination, contributing to movement and activity. Furthermore, we wanted to enhance and activate the surroundings of Lilla Bommen and the quayside.\n<figure itemscope itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mareldarkitektur.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Illustrationsplan_utan-byggnad_kaj-16-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"Illustrationsplan_utan byggnad_kaj 16\" height=\"1810\" width=\"2560\" title=\"Illustrationsplan_utan byggnad_kaj 16\" onerror=\"this.style.display='none'\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\n\t<\/figure>\n<figure itemscope itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mareldarkitektur.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/koncept-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"Kursanteckningar - Tillg\u00e4ngliga pdfer\" height=\"1810\" width=\"2560\" title=\"Kursanteckningar - Tillg\u00e4ngliga pdfer\" onerror=\"this.style.display='none'\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\n\t<\/figure>\n\tThe building is located directly adjacent to the new Hisingsbron bridge. Walkways and ramps along the facade connect the different levels. Pedestrians can walk directly down from the bridge to reach Vikingsgatan and the quayside.\nOne of the major goals of the project was to introduce as much greenery as possible into the otherwise hard-surfaced surroundings. The green spaces contribute to spatial definition, seasonal variation and human scale. They can also handle large amounts of roof runoff and stormwater before it is discharged into the river.\n<figure itemscope itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mareldarkitektur.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Landskapsblock-vaxtkoncept.png\" alt=\"Landskapsblock v\u00e4xtkoncept\" height=\"921\" width=\"1155\" title=\"Landskapsblock v\u00e4xtkoncept\" onerror=\"this.style.display='none'\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\n\t<\/figure>\n\t<p>The planting beds along Vikingsgatan are designed as green islands,<\/p>\n<figure itemscope itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mareldarkitektur.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Landskapsblock_hojder-justerad.png\" alt=\"Landskapsblock_h\u00f6jder justerad\" height=\"457\" width=\"452\" title=\"Landskapsblock_h\u00f6jder justerad\" onerror=\"this.style.display='none'\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\n\t<\/figure>\n\t<p>with edges that adapt to the level differences of the surrounding sites.<\/p>\n<figure itemscope itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mareldarkitektur.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Landskapsblock-justerade-dagvatten.png\" alt=\"Landskapsblock justerade dagvatten\" height=\"588\" width=\"697\" title=\"Landskapsblock justerade dagvatten\" onerror=\"this.style.display='none'\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\n\t<\/figure>\n\t<p>They are also designed to accommodate future changes in ground levels when the quay is reconstructed.<\/p>\n<figure itemscope itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mareldarkitektur.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Vattnets-vag-3D_kaj-16.png\" alt=\"Vattnets v\u00e4g 3D_kaj 16\" height=\"682\" width=\"795\" title=\"Vattnets v\u00e4g 3D_kaj 16\" onerror=\"this.style.display='none'\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\n\t<\/figure>\n<figure itemscope itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mareldarkitektur.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Vattnets-vag-plan_kaj-16.png\" alt=\"Vattnets v\u00e4g plan_kaj 16\" height=\"1124\" width=\"1385\" title=\"Vattnets v\u00e4g plan_kaj 16\" onerror=\"this.style.display='none'\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\n\t<\/figure>\n\t<p>MARELD has developed a system for managing runoff from the two towers and their roofs.
