House Of People

The original building architect was the excellent Kockum Luttinger Söderström. DinellJohansson won the competition for the interior design and sought to tread lightly, taking great care with Sven Markelius' masterful and wonderfully distinctive building.

The property was in significant need of a technical upgrade, as well as an adaptation of its program to meet current market demands.

The Folkets Hus project is a redevelopment and renovation project that the architects have continued to develop in collaboration with the client and the other consultant teams after winning an invited competition in 2022.

Throughout the project, the architects have helped the client optimize the floor area and circulation on each level in order to increase capacity and flexibility.

DinellJohansson has also designed a range of new functions, including clearly defined meeting points, bars, fixed seating areas, and a reception that will become the hub for the operations of Dansens Hus and the Congress Company.

While these functions have all existed previously, their increased capacity and stronger concepts will make them more distinct destinations and unique spaces available for rental.

The goal of creating a comprehensive solution for all types and sizes of events is achieved by creating spaces ranging from a congress hall accommodating 1,500 participants to smaller meeting rooms and lounges.
