Skogskvarteren, Ullna Strand

The simple and clean Scandinavian architecture follows the natural variations in terrain, while a varied color palette of red, white, and black creates a cohesive aesthetic rooted in Swedish building tradition.

The choice of materials, particularly the different types of wooden paneling, adds to the diversity of expression and harmonizes beautifully with the surrounding nature. The interiors have been designed to feel open and airy, with light materials and clear spatial connections.

A driving idea behind the architect’s vision was to create housing that combines the tranquility of detached homes and townhouses with the vibrancy of suburban life. The area is therefore built with a mix of apartment buildings and townhouses, similar to those commonly found on the continent. By introducing a local street between the apartment buildings and townhouses, a sense of community is enhanced and a space for spontaneous encounters is created.

The apartment buildings and townhouses are strategically placed around a large, open park landscape. From here, each home has a clearly connected private outdoor space that still feels secluded from neighbors. The streetscape along Ullna Allé offers a varied impression, with recessed building facades that create a welcoming entrance for residents.

The townhouses come in three different versions of the same base design, all featuring inviting outdoor spaces, nearby private parking options, and generously sized gardens.

Variant 1 spans three floors and offers the possibility to divide the top floor into three separate rooms, resulting in a total of six bedrooms and two living rooms.

Variant 2 features a spacious rooftop terrace and a greenhouse that extends across the entire top floor. On the second floor, residents can opt to remove rooms in favor of larger social areas. The ground-floor room can be used as a bedroom or a commercial space.

Variant 3 has only two floors but otherwise shares the same layout as Variant 1

Just over a kilometer from here lies the Skavlöten outdoor recreation area, offering illuminated trails, excellent ski tracks, and a swimming spot with a summer sauna.

For horse enthusiasts, there are great riding opportunities at nearby stables. And if you enjoy golf, you’ll be pleased to know there are two clubs in the area.

Ullna Golf Club, consistently ranked among Continental Europe’s top 50, has hosted numerous professional tournaments featuring stars like Annika Sörenstam and Tiger Woods. Just a few hundred meters from the Forest Quarters is the popular Arninge Golf Club, also located along the shores of Lake Ullna.

The Forest Quarters are divided into three sections and represent the first phase of Täby Municipality’s long-term plan to develop more housing in the growing Arninge-Ullna area. Täby plans to build a total of 3,000 homes in the district, primarily two- to five-story buildings, accommodating around 7,500 residents. The goal is for the area to offer not only housing but also strong opportunities for retail, access to municipal services, efficient transportation, and employment through local businesses.

Right next to the new residential area is Arninge Retail Park, with a wide range of shops, workplaces, and ample parking. Thanks to its proximity to the E18 highway and the new Roslagsbanan station currently under construction, the neighborhood enjoys excellent transport connections. The new train station is part of a broader initiative to create a modern transit hub with rail services and both regional and local bus links.
