With nature and a railway station around the corner, Lindesberg health centre connects to the expansion of the central Lindesberg area 200 kilometres west of Stockholm.

The building will function both as a healthcare centre and housing complex. While the homes are not primarily designed as care flats, they are designed with accessibility measures and can
be used for that purpose.

A consistent design with association to nature permeates this sustainable building with a large inner courtyard as its main element. Larch timber panels form the façade while exposed wooden beams dominate parts of the interior. The attic corridors are extra wide with part glass floors to guarantee daylight in the flats. The residential building and the healthcare centre are linked together through the common glass gallery and the roof, held up by a timber structure that encloses a
park.The glulam beams enables the structure to fit large sheets of glass. The area, called Gallery of the Senses, is the heart of the building and encloses services like a restaurant, workshop and social areas. It is a living room for all residents and visitors.Lindesberg health centre function both as a healthcare centre and a housing complex. The residential building and the healthcare centre are linked together through an area called Gallery of the Senses, which serves as a living room for both residents and visitors.
