Third Swedish National Pension Fund, AP3, Stockholm
This 1300 sq.m. office for the headquarters and trading floor of the AP3 pension fund took as its starting point, the wish for openness and transparency for this public pension fund which at the same time is autonomous. The colour scheme for the office derives from the colours of early Spring season in the Nordic countries as a symbol for growth and positive expectations. In the name of sustainability, majority of furniture and fittings were reclaimed from AP3’s previous office. The functions that the workplace had to perform were wide-ranging spanning from research to trading to team work and break out spaces, but at the end offering an overall spirit of innovation reflecting the identity of AP3.
