Merkurhuset

The Merkurhuset spans 8,000 square meters with vertical masonry cylinders constructed from Danish Flensburg brick and large glass facades across multiple floors.

The original Merkurhuset from 1897 by architect Ernst Krüger influenced the design of this new structure, which stands in the former moat area.

The building's interior design emerged from collaboration with advertising agency Forsman & Bodenfors, incorporating geometric wooden structures and beechwood furniture throughout the space.

The strategic placement of stairwells and elevator shafts at both ends of the building creates uninterrupted open office spaces without internal pillars or barriers.

The structure features intermediate pillars rising through glass facades and an angled top floor outer wall, resulting from maximum height restrictions.
