Kungsbrohuset (also known as Schibstedhuset) is an office building between Kungsbron and Klarabergsviadukten in the development area of Västra city in central Stockholm. The building was opened on 6 May 2010. Principal architect was Kerstin Heijde of Strategisk Arkitektur.[1]
The building has thirteen floors, ten above street level.
Environment[edit]
The building has double walls, the outer made entirely of glass and the inner 60 percent glass with a gap between, a more energy efficient design than a traditional glass and steel building. The environment coordinate Klas Johansson, described the solution as "an unbelievably efficient system, featuring what is in effect quintuple glazing."[2]
The heating is provided partly by captured waste heat from Stockholm Central Station - an estimated 5-10% of the heating requirement. Water from the canal Klara Sjö is used for cooling. The goal is a consumption of 60 kWh/sqm/yr, half the National Board of Housing Building requirement.[3]
The building was nominated for Stockholm Build 2010, finishing second, nine votes behind Ericsson Kista.[4]

The developers and property managers, Jernhusen will relocate its headquarters there. On level four, there is accommodation for shops and a restaurant and there is hotel accommodation.[1]
