adolf fredrik – well-planned turn-of-the-century apartments with move-in scheduled for the fall of 2024. sizes range from 30 to 190 sqm.
situated as a peaceful oasis in the heart of stockholm, this elegant turn-of-the-century building is being revived with a modern interior. it boasts a beautiful park location across from adolf fredrik church and is close to the greenery of tegnérlunden.
with great care, the architectural values of the turn-of-the-century era have been preserved while the floor plans and interiors have been created to suit our modern way of living. the period-specific details, such as high ceilings, beautiful windows, and stucco, combine with bespoke modern solutions, offering an experience of timeless and contemporary quality.
the building contains eight large apartment units ranging from 140–186 sqm, as well as several smaller residences from 30–109 sqm.
generous social areas and natural connections between the kitchen and living room create pleasant flows between the rooms in the apartments. inviting terraces and balconies face the courtyard, and all corner apartments have views of the beautiful adolf fredrik church.
when kurland 11 was built between 1884–1885 by builder jw lagerstedt, following architect ag forsberg’s designs, it was initially a residential building. the housing shortage in contemporary stockholm was acute. the city had grown rapidly due to industrialization and urbanization. between 1850 and 1900, stockholm’s population more than tripled, from 90,000 to 300,000. to meet the increasing demand, large-scale construction of new housing began, particularly on the stockholm malmars (hills).
in the changing metropolis, many of the apartments in the kurland district were convert ed into offices from the mid-20th century. this transformation occurred gradually to meet the growing demand for smaller offices. today, as housing shortages, flexible work-life arrangements, and sustainability are central concepts, many politicians are supportive of convert ing existing office buildings into homes rather than building new ones.
the property has now been restored to residential use in its former glory, but to today’s high standards and floor plans. the apartments have been carefully designed by architect sanna taune at vardag arkitekter, with a well-thought-out layout that separates the private areas from the social spaces. the apartments feature large terraces, balconies, and patios overlooking the calm inner courtyard. stucco, moldings, panels, and wainscoting have been restored to their original late 1800s appearance, while herringbone parquet floors harmonize with the new kitchens from kvänum, equipped with miele appliances.
