The former spa (founded in 1707) is the home of the well-known Ramlösa mineral water. Many of the now protected buildings from the hay-day of the spa are well preserved. They are now primarily used as residences and offices. The Ramlösa brunnspark is today a wonderful, quiet park for visitors to enjoy.

The Lawyers House, Juristernas hus, opened in 1991 and is designed by architect Ralph Erskine. The house has a slightly irregular shape and the floor plan is a semicircle that curves around an old oak tree.

Cyclist in Copenhagen, Denmark
Copenhagen is more or less the capital of cyclists in Europe, at very close competition with Amsterdam. Everybody rides a bike here no matter the weather or the time of day.
This photo was taken on a rainy summer day. The Black Diamond building can be seen in the back.

Stockholm Waterfront, consists of three separate buildings for conferences, hotel and offices. The buildings are located at Klarabergsviadukten in central Stockholm, at the place where Klara postterminal [sv] previously stood, overlooking Riddarfjärden. The complex is built for three functions, called Radisson Blu Waterfront (for hotel), Stockholm Waterfront (for congresses) and Waterfront Building (for offices). Architect is the White arkitekter firm. Radisson Blu operates the hotel and congress parts and was opened on January 20, 2011.
The first idea for a complex at the site was presented in early 21st century by architect Gert Wingårdh, a proposal for a new hotel and congress centre at the city block Bangårdsposetn 1 och 2. His proposition was however seen as to challenging at one of the most vulnerable places in Stockholm, on Riddarfjärden and neighboring the Stockholm City Hall and was never realized.
The present project Stockholm Waterfront began in 2005, when the City of Stockholm asked if Jarl Asset Management wanted to present a suggestion how the area at the old mail terminal could be developed. The city wanted a facility for congresses and a hotel, but for the project to be more economic the owners of Jarl Asset Management also build an office complex. White arkitekter was hired as architect.
The stainless façade was constructed from duplex stainless steel Z-profiles, 3 to 16 metres (9.8 to 52.5 ft) in length, approx. 26 kilometres (16 mi) in total, fabricated from duplex grade EN 1.4462 (ASTM 2205) supplied by Outokumpu.Fingerprint resistant austenitic[clarification needed] grade EN 1.4301 (ASTM 304) was also supplied by Outokumpu for interior window and door frames.
This building was designed by Calatrava, the same architect responsible for the City of Arts and Sciences I photographed earlier this year in Valencia Spain.
A very busy area in Stockholm, this is Årstastråket where 3000 new homes are under construction. This ugly thing will house 96 students and one pre-school.
This build depicts a stereotypical block from a fictional Swedish row house suburb. Almost identical red houses, a small playground and a green area with a football (soccer) field create an idyllic atmosphere. Despite - or maybe because of - this, blocks like the above have often served as setting in many Swedish behind-the-curtains-drama films and television series about dark family secrets. Who knows what lures behind the peaceful facade?
