Twin towers Norra Tornen in Stockholm win the International Highrise Award 2020/21
The winning building, the Norra Tornen (which translates to “northern towers”), convinced the jury with its timeless yet pioneering architecture. The combination of high-quality prefabricated concrete elements, their skillful arrangement into individual loggias, and the contrast with the fine details of the interiors are definitive features of this high-rises. Furthermore, the appearance of the Norra Tornen makes an important contribution to a coherent urban fabric.
