Five rust-red house bodies placed in different directions, large panoramic windows and boats passing outside the window. At dusk, the light from the 66 apartments casts a light over Stockholm's waters, which almost gives the feeling that there is a lighthouse up there, on top of Telegrafberget.
Design and function are key words for our interior designer who has developed three kitchen styles. The white kitchen is classic, the grey is a popular choice and the linden flower green creates a warm, trendy feeling.
43 metres above sea level, on the mountain plateau Telegrafberget rises Fyrhusen. With rust-red fac?ades, the area's industrial history can characterise the buildings that have been carefully fitted into the mountain's varying terrain. Large glass sections provide a unique view of Stockholm's inlet. Ahlqvist & Almqvist Arkitekter have developed the entire new accommodation Telegrafberget with about 300 apartments from sketch to finished homes.
The name comes from the optical telegraph that served as a link in the telegraph connection between Mosebacke and Vaxholm. The name Fyrhusen reflects that we have wanted to create a lighthouse feeling. With large balconies and glass partitions facing the water, the light from the apartments in the evening creates a luminous lighthouse.
Britt Almqvist, Ahlqvist & Almqvist Arkitekter , said: "We have placed the house bodies in different directions, like the light cones of a lighthouse. The long sides of the fac?ades are rust red as a link to Telegrafberget's industrial history. The red tones contrast beautifully with the greenery of nature and the granite of the mountain. Today, it is obvious to build energy-efficient houses with natural materials. This also applies to the lighthouse houses that are designed for the classification of environmental building silver."
History
In 1795, the optical telegraph was inaugurated, giving rise to the name of the place. In 1886, the oil company Wahlund & Gro?nberg decided to establish itself on the site below the mountain. At the beginning of the 20th century, they built cisterns for the photo gene, a quay and a pumping station that were placed on a very powerful jetty for oil tankers. Over the years, the business was expanded even higher up the mountain, and Telegrafberget became an important oil depot. The business was closed down in 1973, but the cisterns remained until the autumn of 2016 when they were dismantled.

Sustainability
Our ambition is to build our new homes according to the certification Miljo?byggnad Silver. This means stricter environmental require- ments for energy consumption, indoor environment, materials and chemicals. HSB's environmental goal is for carbon dioxide emissions to be reduced by 50 percent between the years 2008 and 2023. LED lighting will be a constant in the apartments and in each apartment white goods with a high energy class are installed, which is good for both the environment and the wallet. In several of our residential areas, electric cars are used for daily property maintenance. They have low energy consumption and are practically charged overnight.
