MonstroCity

MonstroCity Quarnen Tre Kronor
Not the official name. That would be Lighthouse Stockholm, but I think my name fits better. From a recent walk around Djurgården in Stockholm. The apartment building stands at the Kvarnholmen island in Nacka. The architects who really shouldn't be named are Sweco. When they are done around 3000 apartments will have been built here. There are a few big mills still standing here from when KF, the Swedish Co-operative Union, was in charge of the island. In 1897 they built Quarnen Tre Kronor a mill that was in operation for nearly a century and that is the building in my second photo.

Wow! 3000 apartments all together like this sounds pretty horrific Steffe. If it was affordable housing for people who struggle maybe, but I'm guessing this won't be the case ✨

Forgive me if I say I do not think it is beautiful. I did, however, like the apartments at Alby in Botkyrka.

Nope. Not my favorite, at all.
