Gängtappen, Modern building in Malmö, Sweden

The Gängtappen structure rises prominently against the Malmö skyline with its rectangular form and numerous glass windows spanning multiple floors.

Completed in 1958 as Sweden's first skyscraper, the Gängtappen building initially served as the headquarters for the Kockums company until 2009.

The interior features three significant wall paintings and a mosaic created by Stockholm artist Tor Hörlin, representing different color themes throughout the floors.

Wihlborgs, the current owner since 2009, has initiated a complete renovation of the building to accommodate new tenants and modern office spaces.

The building marks a significant point in Swedish architectural history as the country's first venture into vertical urban development during the 1950s.
