Myrstuguberget

Myrstuguberget, Residential area in Vårby, Huddinge Municipality, Sweden

Myrstuguberget is a residential complex in Huddinge positioned on elevated terrain with views across Albysjön lake. The building spreads across multiple terraced levels that follow the natural slope and contain various housing units.

Myrstuguberget was Ralph Erskine's first housing area in the Stockholm region, completed in 1986 with 411 apartments and terraced houses. The original scheme by Erskine and his team featured terraced and atrium houses climbing the slope, served by an inclined lift. Mid-project the plot was sold to HSB, which raised the number of dwellings and simplified the design with standard plans and details. Erskine was displeased with the result, especially the balconies and long access galleries faced in coarse corrugated metal.

The name comes from the boatswain's croft Myrstugan, which stood near Albysjön; it was moved to Slottsparken when the area was built. Below the housing stands Acke Oldenburg's 1990 sculpture "Detta är mitt Huddinge", made of 210 m² of hand-painted clinker and shaped as two curved walls depicting events from his life in Huddinge.

The area sits on a slope between Albysjön and the Botkyrka road, a short walk from Masmo metro station on the red line. The housing fronts face south toward Lake Mälaren, while the northern row forms a high screen wall against the wind. A primary school, a daycare and a leisure centre are within the area.

The original plans by Ralph Erskine and his team showed terraced and atrium houses climbing the slope, served by an inclined lift. The plot was sold mid-project to HSB, which raised the number of dwellings and simplified the build with standard plans and details. Erskine was unhappy with the result, especially the balconies and long access galleries faced in coarse corrugated metal, and exclaimed: "It is totally uncultivated!"
