Tekniska nämndhuset, Municipal office building in Kungsholmen, Stockholm, Sweden
Tekniska nämndhuset is a large municipal office building in Kungsholmen that houses Stockholm's city departments and workspaces for many civil service employees. The building also contains an urban planning information center where visitors can view architectural drawings and development plans through self-service computers.
The building was designed by architects Nils Sterner and Carl-Olof Deurell and opened in 1966 as one of Sweden's largest office buildings. It remains a landmark of Stockholm's modernization wave and reflects the city's approach to civic architecture during that period.
The entrance gallery displays restored artworks by Gunnar Larsson alongside newer pieces by Olof Inger and David Svensson, reflecting Stockholm's municipal art program. These works shape how the building presents itself and show how the city weaves art into its administrative spaces.
The visitor area with urban development information is straightforward to navigate and offers access to plans and drawings without advance booking. It helps to check opening hours for public areas before visiting, since not all parts of the building are accessible.
The natural stone elevator halls from the 1960s remain preserved despite extensive modernization of technical systems and office spaces. These original spaces offer a glimpse into the craftsmanship and design philosophy of the building from that era.
