Lugnets industriområde

Lugnets industriområde was an industrial area in Södra Hammarbyhamnen, Stockholm, composed of numerous small manufacturing workshops and storage facilities built with corrugated metal sheets. These temporary structures were spread across the landscape, forming a loose network of working spaces.

The area emerged in the late 1920s on land that had previously been underwater, after Hammarby Lake was lowered between 1918 and 1925. This artificial land creation provided a foundation where industrial activity could begin.

The area served as a workspace where small workshops and manufacturers coexisted, creating a working neighborhood that functioned on temporary terms. This arrangement reflected a practical approach to industrial life where businesses adapted to uncertain land conditions.

The location no longer exists today, as it was completely demolished in 2002 to make way for new housing developments. Those interested in learning about the area's industrial past can find information in nearby neighborhood museums and local history resources.

The land beneath was unstable because it was built on an ancient seabed, making permanent construction impossible. This ground instability shaped the character of the place and made temporary, easily removable structures the only practical solution.
