The new courthouse will be directly connected to Malm枚 Central Station in the centre of the city.
The Swedish National Courts Administration has placed the order for the scheme, which will contain the Malm枚 District Court, the Administrative Court in Malm枚 and the city鈥檚 Rent & Lease Board. Real-estate corporation Castellum is Peab鈥檚 client for the project.
The courthouse will consist of a shared four-storey structure topped by five towers that are offset from each other in a north to south direction, with each tower successively dipping in height. The fa莽ade of the building will shift from a solid brick fa莽ade at the bottom into glass towers where the bricks are successively replaced entirely by glass. The building will have about about 34,000m2 gross area and hold 40 courtrooms, which will make it one of Sweden鈥檚 largest courthouses. It will be certified to the Milj枚byggnad Gold standard.
鈥淭his is a very exciting project that will become yet another building with character in Malm枚,鈥� Peab region manager Bratislav Marjanovic. 鈥淭he environmental qualifications of the building are high and include energy consumption and the interior environment. Logistics are a challenge in this project since the building lies in the center of Malm枚.鈥�
Construction will start in the spring of 2020 and completion is planned for the autumn of 2022.
