Hälleforsnäs bruk is a foundry which began in the 1600’s. Located in the small company town of Hälleforsnäs, the foundry saw its greatest activity in the 60’s and 70’s, after which a steady decline ended with the cessation of casting activities on the site. Today, the foundry is inhabited by various businesses, both cultural and industrial in nature, and recent years have seen it become a popular food hub for the surrounding area. Nya Bruket imagines a continuation of this development, focusing in on the place where the main casting hall was torn down in 2015, which left a large gravel plain as well as exposing the interior walls of the adjoining buildings. The project consists of transforming office spaces into new residences as well as creating a new central food garden for both residents, food producers and the community at large. The aim is to enhance existing connections on the site as well as create new ones, activating the site with new activities and a new, permanent user base.
