The Kineum dominates the city of Gothenburg with its 28 storeys and an impressive area of 30,000 m2. The façade of the six-storey building is particularly striking with its diagonal criss-cross pattern made from copper-coloured aluminium profiles. The design resembles a fishing net, highlighting Gothenburg's close connection to the sea.

Working closely with Schüco, Reflex Arktikter decided to use a project-specific unitised modular façade. This proved to be the best solution when it came to both design and function. It also best served the extremely tight plot of land with limited options in terms of logistics. As the unitised façades can be fully pre-fabricated in the workshop before being put together like a puzzle on site, the entire production and construction process could be optimised on site.
The Kineum in the Garda district is an outstanding example of a modern, sustainable building. Taking the “BREEAM Excellent” certification as a guiding principle, the aim was to create a building that is fit for the future. With this building, Reflex Arkitekter has managed to harmonise sustainability, design, form and function without compromise.
