Lerum on the media

2010-02-13T08:41:00.009+01:00

Different medias has given attention to this project for Lerum.
Dérive represents a model for sustainable urban planning focused on social and economical aspects. Skånska Dagbladet has published a very good description of the project attitude. Dérive is an urban island but a wild of friendly nature is around the corner.

Europan Sweden wrote recently about the price giving ceremony that took place in Lerum.

These are just some of the most recent ones. There are more links to different articles are in Press & Links.

Built islands floating on a “belt of nature”. A veil of vegetation and wetland becoming the continuous green connections along the lake and towards the city centre. The clearly defined borders express the distinctive relationship to each situation: Lake Front, the power plant side, the small river, the roundabout by the access to Lerum and the railway station.

We take advantage of the topography with its large difference in height between the railway station and the rest of the site.
We propose to enlarge the upper level to create a raised park (part of our “green belt”) where people walk through to get to the trains. By these means we get the desired security distance to housing and a green environment viewing the lake. The lower part gets protected from the noisy traffic and becomes a friendly living urban space. The park covers an underground two-level parking garage for commuters and for those living and working there.

We propose a built shield against the power plant in order to decrease the security distance for housing. It consists of three groups of generic buildings with a big variety of uses (offices, commercial or leisure activities, hotel...). These activity-containers have a close linkage to the railway station by having their main floor on the same height level.

The rearrangement of the access to Lerum is made by removing the petrol station on the site and relocating the roundabout after the tunnel. Instead of what we find today, there will be a lively public square with 3 buildings, easily recognised from the motorway, with office and commercial space as well as other public functions.

The tennis centre will be further consolidated by improving and extending the existing building. The new tennis centre will now take advantage of its privileged location by opening itself to the lake and the nature around with smaller and more transparent volumes.

We intend to create an environmentally friendly and very heterogeneous development where many different people, of all ages and backgrounds come to live, to work or just to drift.
