I don't usually like to rate older buildings as it is usually unfair, but I like these, and they are nice in person and I think there is a nice bar near to there :cheers:

To me, these are te best highrises in Sweden - so far. Maybe I'm biased but I gave them a 9 rating.

They are a little too small though but hey, they are in Sweden and they are built in the 1920s!

BTW, I read that the architects (Sven Wallander and Ivar Callmander) were inspired by Louis Sullivan's creations.

The road the photos are taken from is cutting through a hill so that skybridge is just a normal bridge for the road going across up there and is not really a part of the towers. ;)

I like them.

Would be cool if the street would be a pedestrian zone and shopping street.
