Architectual Detail

Window
One of the more impressive buildings at Mariaberget is a house called Mälarborgen. It is a five-story building from 1890. Designed by the architect Gustaf Hermansson. This is a nicely deorated window, seen from the entrance at Timmermansgatan. As it is built on the hillside you get a much better view of the building from the Riddarholmen bay below, so I will try to get that photo next time I'm in the area.

  2. I like it, something a bit different above a window.

  3. Interesting. Reminds me of an Arabian motif above the window. Well, I guess designs have traveled far and wide. And who knows, it might be a Scandinavian thing - I wouldn't know.

  4. The slight differences in colors of the bricks are what I like most.
