Tvålflingan | ?m | 15fl | T/O

safta20 · December 12th, 2007, 11:30 PM

This building is under construction at Telefonplan 3 metro stations South of Södermalm. Only about 100 meters from the Telefonplan Tower and the 200 m high proposal called Tell Us Tower. You can see construction pictures of it in one of the links below.

Why is this tower called "Tvålflingan"? Doesn't "tvål" mean "soap"? Can anyone help me with the rest?

Insane alex · December 13th, 2007, 05:38 PM

Yes it does!

Swede · December 13th, 2007, 07:09 PM

Flingan = the flake. Like in snowflake. So it does mean Soapflake. It isn't really the name of the building, but of the block. And since the this is the only highrise in the block and no other name has been given yet...

***Þróndeimr*** · December 15th, 2007, 01:35 PM

The names doesn't make much sense, and the building looks more or less very boring. Hopefully they'll do soemthing about the facade, looks like a huge poster/painting on the exteriour walls.

Swede · December 15th, 2007, 02:29 PM

I kinda like the pattern on the walls. More interesting than the plain single colored ones that are all over the place here. What I REALLY don't like about it is that attempted plaza-thing. There's no need for one and all will create is a dark and dead area - not something to be strived for exactly.
The height is boring too. 15fl is... anonymous. Sure, it'll make a big dent on the local "skyline", but won't make the area any more visible or known from the outside. Either make the tower twice as tall or (hehe) build the whole block 15fl tall.

Here's an article about the painting on the wall.

safta20 · July 9th, 2008, 10:00 PM

The first floor of this building have popped up from the ground. But no patterns on the facade yet....

AdnanPD · July 10th, 2008, 12:06 AM

finialy something U/C ill drink in that name

safta20 · July 10th, 2008, 11:49 AM

Yepp! It have looked like ground zero for many years. But all buildings in the block is UC right now!

AdnanPD · July 10th, 2008, 02:46 PM

Sthlm deserves mid and high rise buildings

AtlanticaC5 · July 10th, 2008, 06:12 PM

I kinda like this one, a bit too short of course but that goes for most buildings u/c in Stockholm

I really hope the pattern will be there in real life too, so it's just not something they added to the rendering. Would be interesting to see

Boscorelli · July 10th, 2008, 06:32 PM

I really don't know what to make of this one, I think I need to see it in real life to make up my mind about it, or at least someones photos of it finished.
Could be ok! Could be catastophic! ???

AdnanPD · July 10th, 2008, 06:50 PM

Only thing that we can do now is sit and wait until its built.
I think it would end up nice if they stick to this rendering.

safta20 · July 10th, 2008, 09:51 PM

Here's a picture from the artists website. I believe the wall belongs to this house.

Looks like it's more of a pattern than painted on the facade. Hm, we'll see how this goes...

safta20 · October 18th, 2008, 12:35 AM

Hmm the pattern on the wall does so far only look like dirt

Yeah, but I imagine there will be some outer layer on this that gives it texture.

Swede · October 18th, 2008, 10:47 AM

I don't. That looks exactly like a top-notch facade on any new building in Stockholm. That is to day, it looks like cheap crap. The lines between the slabs... How can thee archticts, builders, ... NOT realize those lines make everything else done with the facade look fake and crap?

/pet peeve.

safta20 · October 18th, 2008, 11:51 AM

This screening tecnique has actually not been used on outdoor facades in Sweden before. It's an 20 year old and popular tecnique in France. But not here. I think it's good that they try to do something different.... It takes time to learn to do something like this. But you have to start somewhere..
