The architects at Stockholm office of Kjellander Sjöberg (KS) faced a challenge architects know all too well: How to avoid a repetitious facade?
They had been charged with designing Elderly Care Skärvet, a senior living complex that would be the first building within a large ground-up development in Växjö, Sweden. (The area had previously been occupied by the Swedish military, but is now slated for multiple blocks of construction over the next 10 to 15 years.) Within the mixed-use development, Elderly Care Skärvet would sit on a prominent corner, raising the stakes even higher.
