Smart rainwater management solves more problems in the cities
Growing cities require more inviting spaces
Like many other cities, the Swedish capital Stockholm is growing, requiring additional housing, new traffic solutions, and more recreational spaces in the future.
To meet this new reality, The City of Stockholm has chosen to transform the southeastern district Kärrtorp due to its optimal location and conditions for sustainable travel.
The project resulted in 160 new apartments spread out on three residential buildings and an upgrade of the bus square and public spaces in the district.

Small green islands spread around Näskubben
One of the goals was to create inviting spaces, attractive for both local businesses and the residents and visitors in Kärrtorp.

The raised planters frame the path system and create an intimate atmosphere between the buildings and provide room for different types of greenery that give life to the built environment and the surroundings.
The residents and visitors in the Näskubben can walk around and enjoy the small green islands spread around the neighborhood.

Edging with a neat top finish
The edging is made of corten steel and is fully flexible.
When looking closer, the edges have a detailed finish and are "single folded inwards" – a neat top detail.
Contrast Freestyle offers endless opportunities for adding these smaller details to the steel edging, giving the possibility to add unique looks and live up to any kind of aesthetical wish of the designer/landscape architect.
