Söder Torn, Apartment high-rise in Södermalm, Stockholm, Sweden
Description
Söder Torn is a 86-meter residential tower in Södermalm with an octagonal floor plan and red granite facades that narrow toward the top. The structure contains 85 apartments spread across 24 floors, served by two elevators and underground parking spaces.
History
The building was constructed between 1985 and 1995 on a former rail yard that had occupied the site of the old Fatburen lake since the 1860s. This transformation marked the shift from industrial to residential use in this part of Stockholm.
Culture
Danish architect Henning Larsen designed the tower with an initial vision of 40 floors, but city planning officials reduced the height to maintain Stockholm's architectural scale.
Practical
The building is located in a well-developed residential area with good public transport connections and nearby shops and services. Visitors can enjoy the surrounding neighborhood, though access to the interior is restricted as it is a private residential complex.
Did you know?
The top floor houses a shared party room with glass walls that offers residents panoramic views across Stockholm. This space takes advantage of the tower's height to provide unexpected sightlines across the city.
