In January 2023, an impressive ten-storey parking garage was inaugurated in Arenastaden, Solna. The Signalbron parking garage, created by ProDesign, is not only a practical solution to the parking needs of the area but also an architectural masterpiece. The site for Signalbron arose when a piece of land was left over during the construction of Arenastaden. This was used wisely and enabled the creation of a circular parking facility that would serve not only the ice rinks, the new office and bath house, but also ICA's new headquarters. ProDesign took on the assignment on behalf of Strängbetong and delivered a final product that is not only functional but also visually impressive. The round parking garage with hexagonal pattern on the facade is illuminated and gives a modern touch to the area.
Lars Rettne, one of the founders of ProDesign and the technical manager of the project, has extensive experience in design and started working with Tekla Structures almost 20 years ago. His experience came in handy for the project and helped to solve its technical challenges. Daniel Oden, an administrator and expert in BIM development in Tekla Structures, was the design manager and played an important role in the construction of the model. Together with the project's structural engineer and designers, they worked to design and create a geometrically complex frame for the Signalbron project, using precast concrete to create a helical structure.
