Trikåfabriken 8

Trikåfabriken 8 is a building with a distinctly industrial character, featuring a large courtyard brimming with potential. This nearly 100-year-old property is being given a new lease of life. For the newly constructed parts of the building, we will use timber for all load-bearing structures, contributing to reduced environmental impact.

A Nearly 100-Year-Old Building Gets a New Lease of Life

The original part of the building was constructed in 1931 by AB Stille Werner as a factory for surgical instruments, based on designs by Erik Hahn. Even before its completion, the property was purchased by Elektriska AB Helios to serve as a factory for the production of electric stoves and other household appliances.

Sustainability at the Forefront

Renovation generally reduces carbon emissions by 70 percent compared to new construction. In the revamped Trikåfabriken 8, much of the original structure will be preserved, with approximately 40 percent of the space being renovated—resulting in a carbon saving of around 28 percent compared to new construction for the entire building. For the newly built sections, timber will be used for all load-bearing structures, further reducing the environmental footprint.

The building will acquire 2 new floors facing Heliosgatan and a brand new 8-storey courtyard building. Extensions and additions will be built on a timber structure.

The Tvärbanan light rail is located approximately 400 metres away. You can also reach this area by bike, boat, car, or via the metro at Gullmarsplan, which is about an 8-minute walk away.

From 2030 onwards, the new extension of the blue metro line will pass through Hammarby Sjöstad, starting from Kungsträdgården and including the new stations Sofia, Hammarby Kanal, Sickla, Järla, and Nacka. One of the entrances will be located in Mårtensdal, approximately 500 metres from the building.

More and more exciting companies are moving to Hammarby Sjöstad. The area boasts excellent transport links and a wide range of amenities, combined with offices and residential properties, creating a vibrant, safe, and inspiring district beautifully situated by the water. It is also a place that continues to grow and evolve.
