Opalen is a residential block in Täby Park, part of the major redevelopment of the former racetrack area. The architecture combines varied façade materials to create a coherent but diverse expression. The project includes rental apartments, LSS units and active ground-floor spaces along the main boulevard. Courtyard-facing sides are calmer, with carefully detailed entrances and transitions.

This project is shown solely to illustrate professional experience gained as architect at Varg Arkitekter AB.
