Forskaren is a 24,000 m² landmark in Stockholm’s Hagastaden district, envisioned as a hub for research, industry and academia. The circular building, with its concentric organization and recessed balconies, promotes collaboration while providing flexible office spaces, co-working areas and laboratories. Its design and materiality align with Swedish building industry standards for sustainable construction. The façade integrates 2 solar control glass products: COOL-LITE® XTREME 70/33 II on floors 2-5 and COOL-LITE® XTREME 61/29 II on the top floors, both on DIAMANT® extra clear substrate, combining energy performance with aesthetics. The top floor is not shaded and needed therefore stronger solar control glass. The two solar control glass solutions provided the same neutral aesthetics. Advanced interior metallized shadings simultaneously secures thermal comfort and provide glare control. The properties of the solar control glass allows only daylight to enter through the glass. More than half of this energy is reflected back through the glass. Forskaren reflects its sustainability ambition with LEED Platinum, WELL v1 Gold, and Miljöbyggnad Gold certifications, and has been named the Stockholm Building of the year 2025. Solar panels covering half of the roof and the stepped façade’s natural shading optimize energy use, while Accoya® wood paneling ensures durability. Together, these features demonstrate a harmonious blend of innovation, sustainability and functionality, making Forskaren a symbol of avant-garde architecture.
