The Swedish seaport has commissioned the also Swedish MVB to build a new office and service building, the three storey-high, 4,800 m2-big Waterfront.
The new facility will feature several sustainable solutions, including a geo-energy system, which will draw much of its electricity demand from solar panels to provide heating and cooling.
The Waterfront's steel facade will change colour, from blue to turquoise to dark grey, depending on the day's weather.
The architectural office Arén has designed the building.
The Waterfront is part of the ongoing expansion of Port of Trelleborg, which in turn is part of the Trelleborg Municipality's Coastal City 2025 urban development programme.
"We are very much looking forward to the first sod and to MVB building the modern and climate-smart port office and service buildings as we have been planning for many years. Waterfront will be the new landmark for Port of Trelleborg, both towards the sea and towards the city," Jörgen Nilsson, the Port of Trelleborg's CEO, commented.
Thomas Ellkvist, CEO of MVB Syd AB, added, "The project's focus on sustainability and climate-smart solutions goes hand in hand with MVB's vision to contribute to creating more sustainable cities. My hope is that the Waterfront will become a house where we smartly combine energy efficiency with function and design."
