Caption: Centrumhuset / Center Building
Additional Description: The Center Building occupies a whole block, limited by Kungsgatan, Sveavägen, Malmskillnadsgatan and Apelbergsgatan. Typical of the building is the somewhat unusual brick architecture and the winding concave corner towards Sveavägen-Kungsgatan. The building was designed as a business and office building with a large shopping hall on the ground floor, which could be provided via subway. The top three floors are retracted and escalated. The facade is highly articulated with profiled brick, landscape, sprinkled windows and a protruding roof foot, which gives a powerful shadow effect. The building is constructed with an inner iron pillar frame. The building style is in the transition from classicalism to functionalism, with clear inspiration from German expressionism. - Wikipedia
