Skatteskrapan

Skatteskrapan, Apartment building in Södermalm, Stockholm, Sweden.

Skatteskrapan is a 26-floor tower on Götgatan in the Södermalm district of Stockholm, rising to about 86 meters (280 feet) with a glass curtain wall facade. The upper floors hold student apartments, while the lower levels contain office spaces, a conference facility, and retail shops.

The building was completed in 1959 as the headquarters of the Swedish Tax Authority and held the title of Sweden's tallest structure for a few years. When the tax authority eventually moved out, the tower was gradually converted into the residential and commercial space it is today.

The name Skatteskrapan means "the Tax Scraper", from the Swedish National Tax Board that occupied the building; the complex is now officially called Skrapan, and locals also say Studentskrapan after its student housing. The ground floor gallery Skrapan opened on 20 September 2007. The building appears in an episode of the American series The Simpsons.

The tower sits along Götgatan, one of Södermalm's main streets, which makes it easy to spot and reach on foot. The ground floor is open to the public, with shops and services that are useful for a quick stop during a walk through the area.

The building was originally 24 floors; two floors, including a restaurant and a skybar, were added during the conversion to student housing. The skybar is not open to the public but serves residents and their guests. The building appears in an episode of The Simpsons.
