Loop Village

Sweco presents a visionary proposal for Malmö, exploring the city's potential for densification of the underutilized spaces in the city. The Loop Village concept aims to create more housing without sacrificing arable land, building upon previous vision studies like Öresund City and Kontintentalstaden.

Redefining some of our concepts about how we build today and finding solutions for future densification are essential topics. According to Urban Skogmar, Architect at Sweco, by planning for new residential typologies, such as Loop Village, areas that are currently separated by infrastructure can be merged into one community.

A group of experts joined forces in this concept project stage to identify possibilities and maximize the potential benefits. Interactive work within a multidisciplinary team aims to communicate the vision, set performance requirements, strengthen the feasibility and ensure that the concept will be materialized to its full potential.

​We provided a six-step method to realize the vision of Architects for the Loop Village from an early conceptual stage. By doing so, we would demonstrate how early discussions within the design team can deploy the full potential of a concept.​
