DinellJohansson Restores Folkets Hus Interior in 2025 Project

DinellJohansson won the competition to design the interior of Folkets Hus, also known as Casa de la Gente or Casa del Pueblo, a building originally designed by the firm Kockum Luttinger Söderström. The project, completed in 2025, involved the refurbishment and restoration of the structure, with the architects aiming to intervene delicately and with great attention to the masterful and wonderfully distinctive building by Sven Markelius. The 4,000 m² project falls under the categories of Cultural Architecture, Renovation, and Cultural Interiors. The design team was led by principal architects Kalle Dinell and Morten Johansson, with Samuel Kuhfuss as part of the main team. The project was curated by Nina Vuga, and photographs were taken by Victor Johansson and Jakob Larsson. The description was submitted by the project team. The restoration pays careful attention to the original architectural elements, ensuring the building's distinctive character is preserved while adapting it for contemporary use.
