The design by Schmidt Hammer Lassen Architects interprets the history of the Stockholm location at the intersection of Regeringsgatan and Mäster Samuelsgatan in a contemporary architectural language. Generous glass surfaces and curved façade bands lend the building openness and lightness.
Covering around 36,000 square metres, the new building combines 7 office floors, 27 apartments and retail and restaurant space. A roof terrace with panoramic views complements the usage concept.
What types of glass were used?

The striking building envelope with curved two- and triple insulating glass is a defining feature of the building's appearance.
These panes of glass are partly convex and partly concave, with formats up to 17.5 square metres and weights up to 1.5 tonnes. Extra-clear diamond float glass from Saint-Gobain Glass is used, combined with coatings such as Cool-Lite Xtreme 70/33 II, SKN 176 II, Eclaz Lumi II and Planitherm XN II.
Curved at Finiglas
Stiklu Centrs | UPB group
The curved elements were manufactured in Dülmen by Finiglas, part of the Semcoglas Group. Maximum precision in bending, flatness and edge processing was crucial for the implementation of the complex façade geometry.
The curved glass elements are based on extra-clear diamond float glass from Saint-Gobain Glass, which offers maximum transparency and a neutral colour effect.
Depending on the requirements, functional coatings such as Cool-Lite Xtreme 70/33 II, SKN 176 II, Eclaz Lumi II and Planitherm XN II were combined to optimally balance daylight comfort, sun shading and energy efficiency.
The highest precision was required when bending the glass to ensure precise flatness. The edges were also processed to precisely implement the complex façade geometry.
Close cooperation between Saint-Gobain Glass and Finiglas resulted in technically sophisticated glass solutions that combine the highest optical quality with functional performance.
The curved glass was installed in the UPB system for glazed aluminium facades in Latvia and integrated into the façade elements.
The result is high-quality glass architecture that reflects the urban environment and opens up new perspectives. The RGNT is scheduled for completion at the end of 2026.
Focus on maximum sustainability
The new building developed by Pembroke Real Estate pursues high sustainability standards. The combination of geothermal energy, district heating and cooling forms the basis for energy-efficient operation. Upon completion, LEED Platinum V4 certification is planned, underlining the holistic approach of the project.
