RB Arkitektur wins invited competition 2010-02-24
RB Arkitektur wins the invited competition for the development of a new city area in Uppsala, Börjetull (earlier Librobäck). Following are extracts from the jury's motivation:
Particularly interesting are the buildings with terraces on the short sides in the way they create a particular character for the area (...) One wishes to use this to create a green city area with a particular identity. (...) The core strip buildings with a feeling of town houses in the groundfloor and first floor appartments, and more traditionally core strip building appartments on the following floors are exiting and attractive because the habitants on the ground floor get private entrances and lawns. (...) The terrace buildings' location with the gable walls directed towards the activity park and Fyrisån (a creek) reinforces the green areas in a pleasant way. (...) The point block towards Fyrisvallsgatan/Seminariegatan stands out and becomes a good landmark for the area. (...) The proposition that has the best potential from an environmental perspective and that creates a good and particular character for the area which can make it attractive (...) Oxygen Architects and RB Arkitektur places the area on the map as an exiting and new environmentally friendly city area to live in.

Lindbacken 2010-02-21
The rebuilding of real estate from office to housing in central Stockholm.
The real estate is almost 2000 square meters and was constructed in 1862. In the 1950s the real estate was made into office and now it will be remade into housing through the creation of a dozen attractive appartments in one of Stockholm's most central and dynamic areas.
The rebuilding entails cautious renovation where existing original details are taken care of while supplementations are modern.
