Gothenburg accumulator tank

Our proposal for the Gothenburg accumulator tank facade emphasizes sustainability, durability, and community engagement, aligning with the city’s vision for a greener future.

The facade incorporates advanced SEFAR fabric structures, renowned for their resilience in extreme weather and low-maintenance requirements. Routine water-pressure cleaning is sufficient to maintain their durability, and their environmentally friendly production ensures minimal ecological impact.

While the design does not directly influence the tank’s operational energy efficiency, its low-impact construction and maintenance reduce the energy footprint over the structure’s lifecycle. High-elasticity materials for fabric bands and vegetation-support wires enhance durability and longevity while requiring minimal repairs.

The design’s lightweight structure minimizes the need for extensive support, ensuring a low carbon impact during construction. This approach reflects a strong commitment to ecological responsibility.

Beyond functionality, the facade fosters community connection by integrating accessible public spaces at the ground level. These areas enhance the urban fabric, inviting interaction and creating a vibrant environment. The visually striking facade establishes the accumulator tank as a symbol of sustainability and civic pride.

This proposal transforms the tank into a modern landmark, blending sustainability, aesthetics, and community engagement to showcase Gothenburg’s commitment to an inclusive and sustainable future.
