I liked the ambience ...

architects: sigurd lewerentz (1885-1975) and torsten stubelius (1883–1963).
lots of later additions and details here. the roof had no windows originally and the whole structure below the building was much simpler, giving an overall impression of greater severity.
the elegant roofline could have been designed by carl petersen in copenhagen the same year.

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 basic idea and the detailing bear the imprint of contemporary international trends and of inspiration from the work of his father, Eric Gunnar Asplund. 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.
Clearly inspired by his father - See trevor.patt's photostream - www.flickr.com/photos/trevorpatt/6438479099/

During our stay at Malmö few weeks ago, we stayed next to the World Trade Center and only a few hundred meters from the Turning Torso building. This is a very cool apartment and it is Sweden's tallest skyscraper and Europe's 3rd tallest residential building.
