A tribute to water and its movement
Masthuggskajen is a new and expanding district in the western core of Gothenburg. On behalf of NCC, we have designed Våghuset, which literally has Järntorget and the long streets around it on one side and the river on the other. A building that is strongly influenced by the city’s most important landscape element – the river.
The undulating façade of the Våghus pays homage to the water and its movement. The 10,000 square metre, 13-storey building has an eye-catching glass façade that evokes the waves of the river and is brought to life by light and reflections.
