Lidingödoktorn’s Health Centre
When Lidingödoktorn’s Health Centre needed to relocate, the journey led to the historic AGA factory in Dalénum on Lidingö – a site that holds a significant place in the area’s identity and once played a central role in Sweden’s industrial development.
The former industrial district has undergone a major transformation, where several of the original factory buildings have been preserved, renovated and filled with new functions. Today, Dalénum is a vibrant hub for housing, workplaces and public services.
As Lidingödoktorn moved into its new premises, we were entrusted with the role of interior architect and lighting designer for the transformation. In close collaboration with the client, we provided guidance on interior colour schemes, lighting design and furnishings. The patient experience was the guiding principle throughout, from overall spatial strategy to the finest detail, with the aim of creating a welcoming, accessible and sustainable care environment, rooted in its historical context.
The design builds on the building’s original architectural qualities, generous ceiling heights and large industrial windows, and enhances them to create a light-filled, spacious and contemporary healthcare setting. Together with the client, we shaped a warm and harmonious environment that brings out the character of the building and adds material depth. Lighting and surface finishes were used intentionally to create a cohesive and cost-effective whole, without compromising on high standards of hygiene and accessibility.
