Årstaängsvägen is located at Årstaviken in Liljeholmen Stockholm, Sweden.

Årstaviken is a bay in the easternmost part of Lake Mälaren in Stockholm, within the districts of Södermalm, Liljeholmen and Årsta.

Årstaviken begins in the east at Hammarbyslussen and ends in the west at Marievik and Liljeholmsbron where it transitions into Liljeholmsviken. At most, it is 625 meters wide, between Tantolunden and Sjövikskajen. The bay is 109 hectares, the average depth is 5.9 meters and the largest depth is 9.8 meters. A walk around the bay is about 7.5 kilometers long.

Along the southern Årstaviken, Årsta forest spreads out, along the northern shore are (from the east) Eriksdalsbadet, Eriksdalslunden, Södersjukhuset and Tantolunden. In the middle of Årstaviken lies Årsta islets, three overgrown islands. Across the bay and Årsta Holmar spans the Årstabridge, two railway bridges built in 1929 and 2005. With the construction of the Hammarby trail in 1929, Årstaviken became part of the new waterway between Lake Mälaren and the Baltic Sea.

Årstaviken served as the main water source for Stockholm’s drinking water between the years 1861 and 1923. Subsequently, the water sources were moved further away from the town itself, and were transferred to Norsborg and later also to Lovön.

Marievik 15 is an office and industrial property on Årstaängsvägen 1-5 in the Marievik area in Liljeholmen, southern Stockholm. The building, which was created in 1980 by architects Anders Berg and Erik Thelaus, is “green-classified” by the Stockholm City Museum which means, among other things, a high cultural-historical value. In 2013 there are plans to demolish the office building with adjoining buildings to prepare space for new high “portal buildings” containing housing.

The architect assignment went to Anders Berg and Erik Thelaus , who then had a collaboration. In 1982, the 32,700 m² plant was completed and constituted the first stage of Marievik’s renewal. At the far end of the cape was a 12-storey, stubby point house erected by an L-shaped lower building on seven floors. These are linked together through two-story buildings. The facade surfaces consist of patterned, dark brown bricks that form a square grid pattern combined with stainless steel sheet. Corners and vertical strips, as well as the retracted penthouses and facade parts towards the inner courtyard, are entirely covered with stainless steel sheet. Together with architectural details such as “corner wings” on the roof top floor and high precision in the detail design, the building became representative of the so-called high-tech architecture of the 1980s.

Sankt Paulsgatan (St. Paul Street) is a street of Södermalm, Stockholm, Sweden. The street leads east-west from Götgatan to Torkel Knutssonsgatan, parallel to Hornsgatan which is approximately 770 feet long.

In 1647 the street was first referred to as Sancti Påwels gathun. It is unclear where the name came from, but possibly the Maria Magdalena Church, which is close by, giving rise to the name of the street. The Methodist St. Paul Church which lies along the street is named after the street. Also found on the street are Mariatorget (Maria Square) and Van der Nootska Palace.

Södermalm, often shortened to just Söder (Swedish for “south”), is a district and island in central Stockholm.

So you’ve visited all shops you had on your bucket list and bought a tasty fika to-go. Why not have a picknick and bask in the sun in Tantolunden or take in the sights of Monteliusvägen or Fjällgatan? Södermalm is, after all, more than just trendy shops and cozy cafés. It’s also an area with diverse architecture, popular city parks and great stories to tell.

The Bronze is located on Kratsbodavägen 50B in Mariehäll, Bromma in Stockholm.

How do you design a high quality residential building on a site that largely consists of a blasted rock face? With The Bronze Kod Architects saw the possibility to heal the landscape and strengthen the surroundings, through a careful placing of the volumes and terracing of the courtyards. By dividing the structure into three separate housing blocks, they created a visual connection between the adjacent street and the rock face and woodland behind the site. Different heights, shapes and angles utilize the site in the best way possible.

The rock also worked as an inspiration when deciding on the visual expression of the project. Sharpness and clarity are two words that can describe the architecture of The Bronze. The bronze-shimmering façade is the signature of the building, made of sheet metal panels with different tint and embossing. By arranging the panels in a certain pattern, visual effects were created, highlighting the different material treatments.

The sheet metal panels also emphasize the sharp angles and corners of the housing blocks. The balconies are an example of this, where the panels visually seal and hold the volume together while accentuating the edges of the building. The perforated panels with square pattern gives the balconies transparency and connects to the pattern of the French balconies. The shiny surface of the façade works well in contrast to the gentle expression of the wood windows and the glazed wood panel behind the balconies. The façade goes all the way down to the ground, which makes the housing blocks look like monoliths, and the expression of the façade changes depending on the current weather. In sunshine it glows in the shades of gold, and in overcast weather it appears matt and sober.

The well-planned apartments all have large windows and either a balcony or a French balcony to enable for the light to reach far into the rooms. Each apartment is given a maximum of façade wall to create bright open interiors. The residents of The Bronze have access to bicycles as well as a private car pool with electric cars, which promotes a sustainable lifestyle. Altogether, The Bronze is a building that corresponds with the surrounding nature as well as the adjacent street. It is also a building with a strong visual expression – the sharp form and shiny materials providing connotations to bronze and stone.

Kungliga Musikhögskolan is located on Valhallavägen in Stockholm.

The Royal College of Music, Stockholm or Kungliga Musikhögskolan i Stockholm is the oldest institution of higher education in music in Sweden, founded in 1771 as the conservatory of the Royal Swedish Academy of Music. The institution was made independent of the Academy in 1971 and is now a public authority directly under the Ministry of Education and Research. Vice-Chancellor from June 2019 is Helena Wessman, former general manager of Berwaldhallen.

A music workshop cloaked in shimmering gold glass that arouses curiosity and anticipation. Since 2003 AIX Architects have been instrumental in development of the Royal College of Music (KMH) in Stockholm. Their goal has been ambitious – to create the world’s most modern college of music. Along the way they have faced several challenges. Aside from overall high demands on tone control and noise insulation, the educational environment also contains public spaces for performances and experiences. From the exterior, the composition of the new buildings for the College of Music has been interwoven with the listed historic stall facility, creating an inviting whole that enriches both the activities within and the urban landscape. At the Royal College of Music, 21,600 square meters of musical experiences are taking shape and as of 2016 will be part of the cultural scene in Stockholm, Sweden and Europe.

Svenne Berkas Torg is located at the Tele2 Arena in Johanneshov Stockholm.

Svenne Berkas Torg was named after Sven Olof Lennart Bergqvist (aka Svenne Berkas). He was a Swedish bandy, ice hockey and football player, known for representing Hammarby IF in all three sports.

Sven Bergqvist grew up in a working class home in a southern part of Stockholm known as Södermalm. He had several siblings and frequently acted as a ball boy during the football matches of the local club Hammarby IF during his youth. At the age of 14, in 1928, he begun his football career at said club.

In 1932, at the age of 17, he debuted in Hammarby’s senior football team. Bergqvist would stay as the team’s regular goalkeeper up until 1934, playing in the Swedish second tier then known as Division 2.

He enjoyed a short stint at the Allsvenskan club AIK, one of Hammarby’s main rivals, during the season of 1935. But Bergqvist failed to make a single appearance for the club and soon returned to Hammarby, reportedly turning down a move abroad to then French giants Racing Club de Paris, that would have turned Bergqvist into the first professional Swedish footballer.

Svenne Berka

“Svenne Berka” would then remain as a prolific player at Hammarby until 1947. During this period he was a part of a successful promotion campaign to Allsvenskan in 1939. Between 1944 and 1946, he also acted as a player-manager of Hammarby.[1] Bergqvist made a total of 212 competitive appearances during his two stints at the club.

He also won 35 caps for the Swedish national football team between 1935 and 1943.[4] In his second cap, on 30 June 1935, Sweden defeated Germany in a memorable victory. Bergqvist played his only major international tournament for his country in the 1936 Berlin Summer Olympics.

His nickname “Svenne Berka” originated from the supporters of Hammarby, who shortened his full name in accordance to the then reigning Stockholm dialect. But the nickname became nationally household when the popular recording artist Alice Babs referred to Bergqvist as “Svenne Berka” in the song “Vårat gäng” during the 1940s. Bergqvist was also characterized as always wearing an own sewn cap on the pitch, which inspired a long lasting fashion trend among male youngsters living in Södermalm.

In 2004, he was voted as Hammarby Fotboll’s fifth biggest profile throughout the history of the club. He is also a recipient of the honorary award “Big boy”, which is handed out by the Swedish Football Association.

Bergqvist was also a prominent ice hockey defender, debuting for Hammarby Hockey in 1932, also aged 17. He would play 13 seasons for the club in the Swedish top division, with Hammarby being crowned champions on five occasions during his tenures: in 1933, 1937, 1942, 1943 and 1945.

He represented AIK during one season in 1935/36, before returning to Hammarby. In total, he made 209 appearances for Hammarby, scoring 63 goals.

He also won 55 caps for the Swedish national ice hockey team during his active career. He appeared in three major tournaments for his country – the 1935 World Ice Hockey Championships in Davos, the Garmisch-Partenkirchen 1936 Winter Olympics and the 1938 World Ice Hockey Championships in Prague – but failed to win any of them.

After his playing career, he made one season as the manager of Hammarby Hockey in 1946.[10] He also coached the Swedish national ice hockey team during the 1948 St. Moritz Winter Olympics, where the team finished in fourth place.

In 1999, Sven Bergqvist was inducted in the International Hockey Hall of Fame. He is a recipient of the honorary award “Big boy”, which is handed out by Swedish Ice Hockey Association. Only two persons have been awarded the badge in both ice hockey and football, Bergqvist and Hans “Tjalle” Mild.

At the early age of 16, in 1931, he made his debut as a bandy goalie in Hammarby Bandy’s senior team. He played another four seasons in the highest Swedish division before quitting. He also represented the Swedish national team.

Bergqvist was also a talented sportsman in handball, playing one game in the highest Swedish division – though not for Hammarby IF, but SoIK Hellas. He was offered to represent the Swedish national team in the sport of field handball ahead of the 1936 Summer Olympics, but chose to decline.

During his whole active athletic career an onwards, Bergqvist worked full-time as a salesman. On 3 December 1955, he was severely injured in an automobile accident and spent the rest of his life in a wheelchair. Bergqvist was a close friend of fellow Hammarby and Swedish national player Lennart Skoglund, who visited him in the hospital after the incident.

Bergqvist’s injuries however did not stop him from continuing to exercise sport at an elite level. He took up archery and was chosen to represent Sweden at the 1960 Summer Paralympics in Rome, but had to decline due to financial reasons, since he would have had to pay all expenses himself.

Sven Bergqvist died on 16 December 1996, at the age of 82. He was buried at the cemetery of Katarina Church, close to his childhood home at Södermalm in Stockholm.

Upon the construction of the Tele2 Arena, Hammarby Fotboll’s new home stadium, Bergqvist was honored with a nearby square being named after him. “Svenne Berkas torg” in Johanneshov was subsequently opened in July 2013.

“Svenne Berka” as well competed in the highest Swedish bowling division for the club IK City.

Tele2 Arena is a retractable roof multi-purpose stadium in Stockholm Globe City, Johanneshov, just south of Stockholm City Centre, Sweden. It is used mostly for concerts and football matches, hosting the home matches of Allsvenskan teams Djurgårdens IF and Hammarby IF. The arena has a capacity of 30,000 to 35,000 spectators for football matches, depending on the number of people standing, and its facilities fulfill the requirements of FIFA and UEFA for hosting international games and tournaments. When configured for concerts, the arena has a capacity of 45,000.

Rosenlund Hospital opened in 1887 as Maria Magdalena församlings and Katarina församlingsjoint poverty house, Södra fattighuset (Södermalm’s poverty house), which over time became Rosenlund’s retirement home. In the beginning, the church hall was in the middle of the building (now demolished) and in the two symmetrical housing buildings, fifteen people lived in each hall.

Over the years, several extensions have been made, including 1897 and 1905, when the so-called Katarina House was inaugurated. At that time, there were about 1,160 places at the nursing home. In 1913, the Gold Wedding House was built on Ringvägen. Between 1969 and 1973, the large, 35 meter high river floor building was erected, designed by Ervin Pütseps Arkitektkontor.

The operation at what was then called Rosenlund’s nursing home was moved in 2003 to Bergsund. Today (2009), Rosenlund’s hospital houses several different types of clinics related to health care, including Rosenlund’s health center, a public dental clinic and Karolinska University Hospital’s hearing rehabilitation.
