Ten views from Stadshagsplan

A touch of red The Blue Buildings Vasastan Two Turrets Norra Tornen Gustaf Vasa kyrka Vasastan Elite Hotel Carolina Tower Wenner-Gren Center Rörstrandsgatan
Aiming my Canon to the right, to the left, far away, and a bit closer. I took these photos from two lookout points at Stadshagen on Kungsholmen. The red roof used to be a cigar factory, back when smoking was a thing. Looking far away and in another direction, we see the blue buildings at Hagalund in Solna. They were part of the "miljonprogrammet", and were built in 1973. The architect was Bo Ahlsén. The third photo shows a typical Vasastan house. The two turrets on the fourth shot are very familiar to people in Stockholm. The buildings are called Sportpalatset and Sankt Erikspalatset. The Sportpalatset was designed by the architect Jean Adrian, it was built in 1930. It was sold on an executive auction before it was even finished. The Sankt Erikspalatset dates back to around 1910. It was designed by Gunnar Morssing. By now, you might be familiar with The Northern Towers. If not, this is how they look from Stadshagsplan. In the sixth photo, we see a lot of rooftops, and also the church tower from Gustaf Vasa kyrka. Next, another view from Vasastan. You will find the Elite Hotel Carolina Tower in a very busy area, close to The Karolinska Institute where they are building a lot of apartments, offices and more at the moment. Next, more rooftops and then some 1950s architecture at Wenner-Grens Center. Aiming the camera to the left, more modern architecture with Kungsholmsporten. In the tenth and last photo for today, a sekelskifteshus, as it was built at the turn of the last century, you will find it at Rörstrandsgatan.

Excellent views.

Very nice to see, but I generally find the buildings with pitched roofs a little nicer to look at than those with flat roofs. Some exceptions aside.

Torra building looks like a collective of mushrooms on top of one another. So cool.

I love these shots. Looking out across all of the roofs is great.
