The neighbourhood is built on the principles of the British Garden City concept, with landscaping, framed courtyards, and clear boundaries between private and public spaces. Varied timber facades characterise the buildings as warm, human and with thoughtful details. The outdoor environments provide experiences focused on recreation, health, cultivation and community, starting with the centrally located 'Heart', which consists of shared social features such as a greenhouse, club room and long tables.

Sustainable lifestyle and safe streetscapes

The block offers a variety of housing typologies manifested in three distinct building types, each with its own character in terms of scale, design and facades that together contribute variety to the area. Glazed ground floors with continuous residential entrances connect the street with the courtyard and, together with the premises adjacent to the square, create attractive and safe street environments.

Snickarglädjen is to be certified according to The Nordic Swan Ecolabel and the ambition is that the block will also encourage a sustainable lifestyle among the residents through its design. Weather-protected parking spaces for bicycles will be placed close to the entrances and a few steps away there will also be space for box bikes and car pools with charging facilities. The courtyard offers an outdoor gym with a running track, playgrounds, and the possibility of cultivation both in greenhouses and directly in the ground.
