Rosenbergs Arkitekter is an award-winning Swedish architecture company founded in 1955, and owned and led since 1992 by architects Alessandro Ripellino and Inga Varg. The company works with public and civic buildings, residential developments, work places, retail buildings, interiors and urban planning.
Portfolio and activities
The company has built up a considerable reputation through carrying out large projects in a distinctive style of soft structuralism. Initially Rosenbergs worked predominantly with public buildings and large office blocks, but over the last couple of decades the company has broadened the range of its work to include city planning projects and large residential developments.
Some of their achievements include Lindhagsskrapan, a 24-storey residential tower block in the Kvarteret Lusten district of Stockholm; the award-winning Flat Iron Building at Norra Bantorget in central Stockholm; the Bankhus 90 building in Rissne, a key office building for Skandinaviska Enskilda Banken AB (SEB) one of Sweden’s major banks; the Tomteboda postterminalen building in Solna, one of the largest single buildings in Sweden and the corporate headquarters and main sorting office for Posten AB and PostNord AB, the Nordic region’s largest mail and logistics provider; the high-rise Rica Talk hotel in Stockholm and Stockholmsmässan, one of the country’s largest exhibition halls and conference centers, which Rosenberg’s has been responsible for the architectural creation and development of since the late 1990s.
Rosenbergs is currently working with many of the largest ongoing city planning projects taking place in Stockholm. Amongst other projects the company has submitted proposals for the expansion of the dense Västra city commercial area in central Stockholm; has won the contract for the urban redevelopment of the former racecourse area of Täby and won an open assignment to plan the conversion of the Södra Värtahamnen area of Stockholm into a new district. The company is also working on many ongoing housing projects currently under construction, including apartment blocks in Norra Djurgårdensstaden, Lilla Essingen and Telefonplan, residential high-rises in the tidningskvarteret district, Stadshagen and Borås, a residential tower block in Liljeholmen and residential conversions in the Kabelverket district of Älvsjö.
