Handenterminalen

The large building Handenterminalen that sits next to the commuter station, seen from the beach at the Upper Lake at the Rudan nature reserve. This part of central Handen is a busy construction site since quite a few years now with the construction of everything that is a part of the Haningeterrassen project. Inside this building you will find pretty much everything, including convenient stores, nightclubs eateries, offices, school, dentist, the list goes on and on.

Handenterminalen

The bus terminus in Handen closed for traffic one year ago in preparation for the new massive Haningeterrassen project. And now a year later the station is being demolished. And for the next decade (!), this area, close to the mall, City Hall, and the commuter station will be a very busy construction site. When they are all done there will be 450 new apartments here plus an underground bus terminus, here at the old terminus there will be a new 18-story apartment building.

Public Seating

Photographing benches is often fun. You have to think a bit and find the best angle to shoot from and figure out the best settings. I'm guessing that designing them is even more fun. I used the word Färdigsuttet as a title for this photo at flickr. It means that no one will sit here no more. These benches are history. They can still be found at the now closed bus terminus that I showed you two days ago, but not for much longer. For the next decade (!), this area will now be a busy building site.

Vertical Support

These square columns are part of the Hantenterminalen building at the commuter station in Handen. The building houses among others, Haninge X-cons. The Rudan School. A restaurant/night club, many offices, gym, banks and what have you.
