An 80s original, renewed for a brighter working day
The year is 1980. Spring is in the air, and Fame by Irene Cara pulses through your Sony Walkman as you head make your way to the newly built office building at Tegeluddsvägen 31. Modern and ambitious for its time, the building features low ceilings and modestly sized windows, letting in just enough daylight — a legacy of an energy crisis that already passed, even if the architecture hadn’t quite got caught up. The entrance is tucked away from the street, accented by salmon-pink sheet-metal details. The 1980s certainly had their aesthetic quirks, but durability was always a priority.
Areim acquired the property in 2022 and, building on T.31’s solid foundations, modernised the yellow-brick building through recycling, reuse and carefully considered development. New, energy-efficient windows now flood the interiors with daylight, while supporting a high-quality indoor climate. The refurbished garage has been transformed into a state-of-the-art gym with modern changing rooms for tenants, and the building is also home to NPC, a cutting-edge gym operator. With a wide selection of nearby restaurants and a generous roof terrace for summer lunches and coffee breaks, T.31 sets a new benchmark for sustainable, contemporary workplaces.
T.31 is located in the heart of Gärdet, with an even brighter future taking shape as Stockholm’s Hamnkvarter develops. Containers are gone, car traffic has been pushed aside, and the harbour is returning to life, with renewed shipping and maritime transport. Soon, the area will be easy to reach by boat, underground, bus, or bicycle — and become a place where people choose to linger and enjoy the energy of the waterfront.
Stockholms Hamnkvarter is once again becoming a meeting place for generations to come, with T.31 at its centre.
Our ambition is to certify T.31 according to BREEAM In-Use Excellence.
