History

Raffinaderiet 3 has a long history and comprises several different buildings that were put up between 1888 and 1907 for the sugar refinery. The property housed everything from the refinining process to the steam boiler, forge, cooper’s shop and housing for the refinery’s top management. Since the closure of the sugar factory in 1913, the property has played host to regiments, the textile industry, metal turning, bookbinding, workshops, educational activities and office premises.

Design

Parts of the property are listed as of historic interest and we attach great importance to preserving, recreating and reflecting the historic values in the architecture and choice of materials.

The facade will be designed with recovered bricks, period-correct glazing and material choices such as patinated brass  and steel. The material choices for the interiors will also tie into the property’s industrial heritage.

Unique character

The property’s layout means the premises are well-suited to small and medium-sized companies seeking modern offices with a unique character and a historical birthright. The location adjacent to Lund Central Station also creates the prerequisites for convenient and sustainable travel for employees and visitors.
