Architect: Johan Celsing
Built in: 2011
Client: Enskede-Ă…rsta parish
The church is over-looking Årsta torg (designed by the brothers Erik and Tore Ahlsén in the 1940-ies). The church was built next to an existing bell-tower and a parish building from 1968 designed by Göran Dahlstrand on a rocky site. The church was inaugurated August 21, 2011 by Bishop Eva Brunne.
The structure is of load-bearing red-brown brick. The interior is light with the lower part all clad in white glazed brick. Along the walls is a continuous glazed bench for seating. The roof and ceiling is a perforated concrete slab with beams crossing the church.
“This is not a commercial site, but a place where decisive moments in people's lives often take place, such as weddings and funerals. Therefore I did not want the building to be in the center with a "cool" architecture and take the focus off the rites and meetings that take place inside it.” - Johan Celsing in the magazine Amfi, 2/2011

During the 20th century, the pagan practice of cremation started to gain greater acceptance and so, in the mid-1930s, Stockholm’s Cemetery Committee decided to build a crematorium with three chapels. The idea was that Asplund and Lewerentz would work together on the project, but Lewerentz was sidelined and the commission went only to Asplund.

Sweden´s newest historical building is the Eslöv Civic Hall (Medborgarhuset), which achieved this status in 2001. In architectural circles the Civic Hall in Eslöv is known as the most ambitious building in Sweden in the post-war period. The Eslöv Civic Hall is one of the most remarkable Modernist buildings in Scandinavia.
It was 1947 when the young, newly-qualified architect Hans Asplund´s proposal won the competition to design Eslöv´s Civic Hall, which was built and completed in 1957.

The Civic Hall is now a meeting place for a wide range of both business and cultural activities. It has been comprehensively restored and its meticulous workmanship, treatment of materials and original color scheme reinstated.

When the Student Housing Sparta was built it was considered to be a bit out of town and was only surrounded by a few houses and fields. Then it was mostly students who visited Sparta. Now it is in the heart of the new Lund with the research village Ideon, the Hospital of Lund and the University as nearest neighbors.
Sparta is one of architect Bengt Edman’s buildings that are typical of the time. Sparta is considered as one of Lund's architectural treasures because of its exciting 70th century style. The building is characterized by attention to detail, lighting and materials.
Bengt Edman won his first architectural prize in 1950 for Villa Göth in Uppsala. Villa Bergh in Vellinge, built in 1965, represents the essence of Edman's simple architectural style, often called brutalism. 1962 was Bengt Edman employed as professor at The Faculty of Engineering at Lund University and in 1968 he won the Kasper Salin Prize for the Student Housing, Vildanden, in Lund. Shortly after, the controversial Sparta was built, a model building for the brutalism brick architecture.
