Berget, Modernist building in Rättvik Municipality, Sweden
Berget is a modernist building in Rättvik Municipality with clean architectural lines and extensive glass surfaces. The structure includes multiple event spaces, meeting rooms, and technical facilities designed to accommodate groups ranging from 20 to 200 people.
The building was designed by architect Jack Hanson in 1962 and set a new direction for Swedish post-war municipal architecture. It represented a shift in how community buildings were conceived and built during that era.
The building serves as a gathering place for residents attending exhibitions, conferences, and community events throughout the year. It functions as a social hub where local life happens and people come together for shared experiences.
Natural light floods the building through extensive glass surfaces, creating a spacious and open feeling throughout. Visitors should be aware that the spaces appear different depending on the time of day and how they are in use.
The building was deliberately designed so that strategically placed windows frame views of the surrounding landscape and integrate the natural environment into its architecture. This intentional connection to nature sets it apart from many other structures of its era.
