A beautiful new office space in Stockholm that looks like it gets the balance right between a very cool first impression and somewhere you can actually get some work done.  Or put another way, a not-so-common case where a very photogenic design actually responds directly to the client brief and the needs of the base building.  Fun and ingenious at the same time, the designers restored the grandeur of the listed space by inserting a central mirror wall down the length of the building.
