Hille Melbye Architects won the architectural competition in 2023 for the development of Kungsbacka Arena, located just outside Gothenburg. The client is Kungsbacka Municipality. The project is being developed in collaboration with Semrén & Månsson Architects and Mareld Landscape Architects.
The main functions of the project include a new neighborhood square, a public arena for major concerts and sports events, and a football stadium for elite matches. A training hall, climbing wall, gym, restaurant, exhibition spaces, and commercial areas are also included. Facing the square is a generous entrance hall that connects the various functions and creates a vibrant hub at the center of the complex. During major events, the crown of the arena lights up, illuminating the city skyline. The festivities can then begin! There has been fantastic Scandinavian collaboration with Semrén & Månsson Architects (SE), Mareld Landscape Architects AB (DK), and VBK (SE) throughout the competition. This collaboration continues into the design phase. Illustrations by Soul.
