Currently considered inaccessible to pedestrians and cyclists, Slussen is a black hole in the heart of Stockholm. The proposal turns Slussen into an urban recreational area assuring easy movement for the citizens and tourists of Stockholm. By moving the public program towards the most attractive place, and integrating the heavy traffic under the cover of a public square, it is possible to regain the waterfront, and at the same time connect the city parts around Slussen. The edge towards the water is terraced to provide day light to the public and commercial spaces behind.
