SDS-huset

SDS-huset is a modernist office building in Malmö that rises 55 meters with 15 stories, making it one of the tallest structures in the Sege industrial area. Its design and proportions stand out in the surrounding industrial landscape.

Construction began in 1961 and finished in 1965, after which it served as headquarters for the newspaper Sydsvenskan until 2013. The building housed the paper's operations during decades of journalism and industrial activity.

The interior features furniture from renowned designers like Mies van der Rohe and Arne Jacobsen, reflecting mid-century taste and approach to workspace design. These pieces shape how the space feels and worked when the building served its original purpose.

The building is located near the Malmö-Lund motorway, providing good accessibility for visitors and traffic flow. Its position in the industrial area makes it straightforward to reach from the main routes into the city.

The building's design resembles a ship, with the tower functioning like a bridge overlooking the workspace below. The editorial offices are arranged in a layout that mirrors newspaper production flow, creating an unusual metaphor in architecture.
