Malmö Stadsteater Hippodromen

Åke E:son Lindman

Major refurbishment of 19th century Swedish theatre, addressing its outdated functionality and lack of street presence while respecting its heritage as a nationally listed building.

Major refurbishment of 19th century Swedish theatre, opening the theatre to the life of the city. A new auditorium offers an intimate, flexible space, merging historical and contemporary architecture. A glazed courtyard links it to the street, providing an events space, and connection between a new entrance, the refurbished theatre foyers, a café & children’s workshop. The theatre is now more porous, accessible & flexible.
