Barkarbystaden

Spacious Blocks with Shopping, Dining, and Convenience Around the Corner

Located in the northwestern corner of Barkarbystaden, this residential block is fully enclosed, creating a quiet and sheltered courtyard. The large inner courtyard is accessible from all stairwells and through two archways connecting it to the street. The buildings’ varying heights allow sunlight to reach the courtyard throughout the day.

The development includes 199 rental apartments, ranging from 1-room units (35 m²) to 4-room apartments (94 m²), as well as four ground-floor commercial spaces that open the block toward the surrounding street life. Most apartments are designed with bedrooms facing the quiet courtyard and living areas facing the street, combining open kitchen-living room layouts with efficient use of space for light and openness.

The courtyard is designed for everyone — with play areas, barbecue spots, and seating zones. Water features, trees, and planted greenery create a variety of lush and relaxing outdoor spaces, while the varying building heights add architectural dynamism to the neighborhood.

The property was previously owned by HållBo, a joint venture between ByggVesta AB and Bonnier Bostäder AB, and was fully acquired by Bonnier in December 2024.

Architect’s note:

The courtyard environment offers several gathering spaces, leafy vegetation, and open lawns. A central walkway runs through the middle, connecting wooden terraces and small pergolas. At the heart of the courtyard, a large arbor with long tables and a grill area creates a social hub, along with a framed playground for children.
