Dramatic countryside in harmony with the urban centre
The centre of Gustavsberg lies in a valley encircled by four granite hills and protected ecosystems. The area also has two adjacent marine areas, in the form of Farstaviken and Ösbyträsk. The connection to these will be re-established to create a town in close contact with the countryside, bringing nature right into the centre. The proposal respects Gustavsberg’s longstanding, strong building tradition and cultural history.
