Parkudden, Private residence in Stockholm Municipality, Sweden.
Parkudden is a private residence in Stockholm built around 1899 that displays architectural features of the late 19th century. The building combines Scandinavian construction practices with European design elements and shapes the streetscape through its distinctive facade.
Architect Ferdinand Boberg designed the house in 1899 during a phase of his career when he was developing his personal style. Boberg later became known for other significant Stockholm buildings such as the Björns Trädgård electrical plant.
The building shows how Stockholm homes of the late 1800s combined international style elements with local building materials. The facade reflects how European design trends merged with Nordic construction techniques that were typical for private residences of that time.
The building sits in an easily accessible location within Stockholm's urban area and can be viewed readily from the outside. Since it is a private residential property, interior viewings are usually not possible.
Parkudden is often overlooked even though it represents an important example of Boberg's transitional style before he later became recognized as a master of modern architecture. The house documents a less familiar moment in the career of one of Sweden's most influential architects.
