PK-huset, Commercial building in Norrmalm, Stockholm, Sweden
PK-huset is a 24-story commercial and office building at the corner of Hamngatan and Norrlandsgatan with facades of reddish Älvdals sandstone. Inside sit retail spaces, office areas, and a shopping arcade that connects to a neighboring department store.
The structure rose in 1974 as the headquarters of Post- och Kreditbanken and underwent major renovation in 2008. That modernization added more office space and expanded the retail areas.
Street Style, Sweden's first skateboard shop, operates inside these walls from the 1980s onward and shaped how Stockholm's youth culture took root in the city center. The store represents how alternative communities claimed space in commercial districts.
The building sits centrally and is easy to reach via three nearby metro stations and Stockholm Central train station. Retail areas typically operate from 10:00 to 19:00 on weekdays, though individual shops may have different hours.
The building overlooks Kungsträdgården park and connects directly to the Nordiska Kompaniet department store through an underground shopping arcade. This passage lets visitors move between both places without facing the weather outside.
