Folksamhuset, Modernist office skyscraper in Södermalm, Sweden

The 79-meter tall Folksamhuset features a vertical design with light grey marble slabs covering its exterior walls and extends across 28 floors.

Architects Yngve Tegnér and Nils Einar Eriksson completed this insurance company headquarters in 1959, marking Stockholm's post-war urban development phase.

The building serves as a central landmark at Stockholm's southern entrance, reflecting the city's transition toward vertical corporate architecture in the 1950s.

Located near Skanstull, the building connects to multiple transport routes including Skansbron, Skanstullsbron, and Johanneshovsbron bridges for easy access.

The structure's base incorporates a green terrace that creates a transition between the vertical tower and the surrounding street level.
