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.

In the park behind the National museum at Blasieholmen in Stockholm there is a new building. Two architect firms worked on this project, and the brains behind it was Stefano Mangili. But the real heroes here were the people from Strängbetong if you ask me. And apparently it is still a secret how they made the braided concrete pattern.
villa herneryd, laröd, helsingborg, sweden 1961.
architects: jørn utzon (1918-2008) with ARTON (partners erik and henry andersson).
the second villa by utzon in the small town of laröd on the Swedish west coast was designed in 1961 which is late for a single family house from his hand. utzon was moving into the business of monuments.
rigorous is the word that comes to mind when studying the plan, not least following the wandering walls and wooden posts of the nearby villa banck. the house is very nearly square with a square courtyard in it which - surprisingly - relates only to circulation.
I wonder how you would use it in your daily routines when both kitchen and living room turn their backs to it. courtyards make such sense on the coast where views are matched by wind, but I cannot help feeling that I am missing something here. remember how utzon made the courtyard a room in the house in elsinore - I have a photo here - and I think you'll see what I mean.
perhaps the point was to make the circulation spaces more liveable. villa banck and herneryd are very large by utzon standards and more formal too with servants' quarters and room for dining and entertaining. the separation of social functions makes for long corridors, a type of room barely present in his other, smaller houses.
my photo shows the side of the great copper-clad roof. it is more of a shape than the exposed construction, you would expect from the architect's more famous houses. I miss the poetry of his tectonics, but then again, the masters are not here to satisfy our expectations.
the roof comes to good use on the facade facing water and sunset where utzon offers a line-up of different spaces to enjoy the view from under it.
I don't have a photo of that, but the restless aerial photographers of the internet search engines show us just enough of that fluidity of planning which finally occurs where utzon confronts us with nature and which makes this a house to remember.
if you have the 'arkitekturguide för helsingborg' or certain other publications from the local municipality, they will mention other utzon houses in the vicinity. however, these buildings were designed by the gifted norwegian architect, jørgen michelsen, who worked with utzon at ARTON and later took his place in the company. michelsen's works deserve attention in their own right as does his relationship to utzon. I hope to be able to tell you more at a later date.

villa gorthon AKA villa ramén, drottninggatan 224, helsingborg, sweden 1914-15.
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.
- This is the most attention grabbing room in the Stockholm city hall. The room is decorated with a golden mosaic depicting "Mälardrottningen", the personification and symbol of Stockholm herself.
