In the last decades, the historical quarter has truly undergone a change, from being threatened by demolition in the 80’s, to quite an appreciated urban environment.
The block, currently consisting of 5 buildings, holds mostly offices, commercial facilities, as well as a café and the garage, located in Artilleristallarna since the 1960’s.
The area, in which the quarter is located, has been listed in the national interest description for the inner city of Gothenburg, as well as the conservation program. A detail plan with a focus on conservation was also developed in the late 1980s. Thus, the area is highly regulated by the law since 1987, and clear guidelines exist regarding the development. It clearly states that no (or minimal) physical alterations is to be made in the façades of these buildings. The interior qualities, characteristics and materials should also be preserved as much as possible.
