ARCHITECTURAL FOCUS
More than a structure , Fyrtornet is a meeting place and a key element in the Embassy of Sharing district .
The public foyer seamlessly blends with commercial spaces and a district library , encouraging encounters between different groups and enriching urban life .
A recessed entrance and overhanging roof create a sheltered urban space , inviting people to gather .
Two façades are dressed in red cedar shingles , while the other two feature double-glazed curtain walls that reflect the city beyond .
Fyrtornet combines thoughtful , holistic design with innovative timber construction and a commitment to social and ecological sustainability .
It is an architectural statement that both respects Malmö ’ s urban context and aspires to shape its future . A crafted addition to the city ’ s skyline that we hope will enhance Malmö ’ s built environment and inspire those who encounter it .
