A floating wellness pavillion
Grace is a meeting place where the city and archipelago merge—a floating destination that enhances access to the water and establishes a new gathering spot in Stockholm. A space for recreation, wellness, gastronomy, and year-round experiences.
The pavilions feature rounded forms and facades clad in painted wood panels. The color scheme and details draw inspiration from the rich architecture of Strandvägen. Green roofs retain and purify rainwater, while local and native vegetation such as heather, blueberries, and St. John's wort supports biodiversity with a high Green Area Ratio. The reuse of building materials, locally sourced materials, and energy-efficient solutions minimize the environmental impact.
