AHOUSE BÖRSHUSET
The transformation of Börshuset honors its layered history while reinterpreting it for contemporary use. Originally designed by Gustaf Wickman in 1912, this Jugend-style landmark once housed cattle auctions in Stockholm’s Slakthusområdet before serving as a police station, bank, and hotel.
The design approach reveals its past through raw, authentic details—restored terrazzo floors, exposed wood paneling, and grand bullseye windows—while introducing bold new elements like a laser-cut metal balustrade and patinated spiral staircase.
Materiality and color draw from the district’s industrial heritage and nature, blending stainless steel, molded plywood, terrazzo, and leather with tones of limestone grey, oxblood red, and earthy browns. The furniture embraces “beefy Jugend”—substantial forms in wood, leather, and bentwood—alongside lush greenery that reconnects the space to its pastoral roots.
Börshuset now stands as a house of history, where past and present merge in a setting designed for creativity and connection.
