Now it is possible to design your apartment according to your preferences or to build it yourself. The elevations and floors create a frame that is ready to be filled your ideas and the communal spaces will be designed by you together with your neighbours.
As a resident you will participate in the design of both your apartment and all the shared spaces together with the architect, developer, and your new neighbours. Two thirds of the 48 apartments are our bay window residences ranging from 71-85 m2 and up to three bedrooms. This project also offers eight roof apartments of varying sizes and seven two story apartments between 122-152 m2 with separate entrances on the ground floor. The apartments are distributed across two buildings, with storage, car and bike parking located in the basement.
In Brf Hackspett you will be able to choose between two different apartment concepts. We call them the Self-designed home and the Self-built home; both options are defined by a wide range of options for creating your own space. The possibility to make individual adjustments of your own apartment means that you can decide what complements and enhances your lifestyle. The chance to incorporate your own design aesthetic will mkae sure you feel at home from the start.
In the self-build home, you complete the construction of your apartment by your own hand where you are your own designer and carpenter. Siegel provides the building frame for the apartments including items such as a kitchen and bathroom to standard for the final inspection with the home owner association. After that you will have the freedom to continue working on your own home.
In the self-design home, you have the freedom to shape your home within a set framework. As a resident you will have the opportunity to select your layout, furnishings, materials and colors together with the architects at Siegel.
All residents will have the opportunity to influence the design and use of the shared spaces on the yard as well as the souterrain and ground floors. There is space for the design of workshops, studios, a gym or, party room facing the yard, as well as a sauna, pool, guest apartment and storage for shared things. The idea is that the shared resources help create an active lifestyle in the Delsjön natural area and trips to the restaurants down the hill along Munkebäcksgatan easier and more enjoyable. Siegel provides a physical framework that we fill together.
The process
On October 19th, we started our series of information and design meetings for the Brf Hackspett building community near the site at the Rudolf Steiner School in Östra Kålltorp. It was great for us to present the work so far and meet both those who want to design an apartment with us at Siegel as well as those who want to build their apartments themselves.
During the winter, meetings on specific topics will be held until the apartments go up for sale. After that, joint and individual design meetings will take place. Preliminary schedule and sign up at the link above!
