Great Structured Mess

Earlier in the year I showed you a new clean fence at a construction site/residential area in Handen called Parkstråket. At the time I didnt know why the fence came up, but now I do. It is a 107 meter long jungle mural painted with animals and what have you as protection against the new apartment buildings that are now under construction as you can see here. Theme Day at City Daily Photo. Great Big Mess.

Windows & Balconies

A new housing area called Parkstråket in Handen. This was a little forest with a couple of unused Summer houses a few years ago. Today there are a number of big apartment buildings here, plus a brand new school.

The Plank II

I wonder what the Stockholm Beauty Council would say about this. This fence barrier can be found at Sjögläntan, part of a new housing area at Parkstråket in Handen. I first photographed it in early January which at least one of my readers noticed. If you happen to live on the first floor at the new apartment building this is your new view. Oh, and they wouldn't say anything because this is in Haninge and I don't think we have a beauty council here. Anyway without the fence barrier here you would see a lawn, a walkway and another, (temporary), housing area.

The Plank

I spotted this brand new plank at Parkstråket in Handen earlier today. Pretty sure that it will not look this clean for very long. Time will tell I guess.

Under Wraps

Sjögläntan at Parkstråket. New apartment builing under wraps in Handen.

Halfway There

Biking past the construction site Sjögläntan/Parkstråket in Handen recently I decided to stop for a photo. So I sat down on the bench from where you get this view. I didn't have the wide-angle lens with me, so I tried a panorama using the 60mm lens. Which is 96 mm on the 77D. After snapping sixteen photos I realised that from where I was sitting it would be a lot of blue sky in the photo so I gave up. With my preferred aspect ratio this would have been the final result had I kept shooting. This will be a six-storey apartment building.

A bit brutalistic...

The Sea Glimpse. I guess it might be possible to see the lakes at Rudan here once the new houses are up (from the roof), but I seriously doubt it. The houses in the background dates back around a decade.

Illustration

I'm guessing it will be a year or so before this illustration will become reality here at Parkstråket in Handen. The project is called Sjögläntan. Two hundred new apartments are currently under construction here.

Parkstråket

293 new apartments, (leasehold), in a total of six buildings, between four to nine stories high, to be built here at Vintervägen/Sommarvägen in Handen. At the moment there are a few temporary student apartments in what is left of the forest here. Expect to move in here in 2020 if this is the place for you. The architects are Semrén & Månsson. At the same time Turbinen is constructing a new school close to the bridge that connects the area to the Rudan nature reserve, that is what the third photo shows. goo.gl/CQn1YA
