The new culture center in Skellefteå gathers several important public
institutions of the city: an art museum, library, theatre, guest stage and
hotel. The site is located next to the city square and the diverse program is organized
in a series of layers and volumes stacked next to each other.
The different volumes are connected through a large public foyer that stretches the entire length of the site. The floors of the space are punctured with round openings connecting the different levels and outside is an outdoor culture park with sculptures and playgrounds.
The loadbearing structure of the building is made entirely from glue-laminated timber as a sustainable and locally produced building material. The facade is made of corrugated stainless-steel sheets that reflects the varying lights of northern Sweden.
