Arken, Office building in Tomteboda, Sweden
Arken is an office building in Solna featuring a transparent ground floor and workspaces arranged in parallel sections. A central atrium with connecting bridges links the different areas together.
Arken was designed by Lise-Lott Söderlund of BSK Arkitekter, and around a thousand postal employees moved in during November and December 2003. The building was officially inaugurated on 12 February 2004. In April 2020, Delarka Fastighet AB sold the property to its current owner, URSUSREM Atlas II, which leases it to Posten.
The name Arken means "the Ark" and was chosen through an internal naming competition at Posten, because the building resembles a boat stranded on a mountain. The sloping glass gable carries the postal logo, since 2011 PostNord's, facing the Pampas interchange.
The structure sits between the Tomteboda Mail Terminal and adapts to the natural slope of the hill through its design. Access and movement are shaped by this topographic setting.
