I personally really like it but I can also see why people would not, it is a bit hive-like.
Probably one of the best take i’ve seen for “huge building dedicated to living”, huge improvement from former communist style blocks.
I do wonder about the practicality of it when it’ll be time to clean it after a few decades though
Imo, modern architecture can blend greatly into historical surroundings. The city centre of Berlin is a great example of how it can be done masterfully.
An example of how *not* to do it, is most of what “we”, the Dutch, have built between ‘45 and ‘95…
I consider that a crime.
I think most People are mad because they are to high… We dont want skyscrapers!
Lego-like.
you will live in the corncob and you will like it.
though while this isn’t exactly pretty, I’ve seen worse
Those buildings will age like milk.
They are terrible…
looks like the one in Zuid Amsterdam
As with a lot of modern buildings it is interesting to look at and contemplate the idea for a short while. But if you have to look at it and live with it everyday for up to 100 years or more, it is terrible. Buildings like these are not made to please the human eye or made to live in harmony with them. It’s like when you appreciate and can marvel at a radical wild idea painting, but no way you want it to hang on your walls at home.
Looks cool but not efficient, especially in cold climates.
Reminds me of the old Nakagin capsule building in Tokyo
Wow commie blocks 2.0
If my country had absolutely no culture or history, these would be considered pleasant and good-looking here…
Hey architects, there’s a reason people don’t like this, stop trying to shove ugly and lazy designs down our throats just because some bad shrooms you took made you think the future is all made out of cubes.
I like it a lot
Why controversial? I think everybody can agree they are ugly.
Curious how they look from inside
It’s ugly but I kinda like it.
I actually think it looks cool. An homage to Brutalism while also having large windows, which many brutalist buildings lack.
Looks fine, little odd but perfectly fine
Really cool
If you put some greens on the fronts, it could actually look really nice.
maximizing surface area is just stupid
Brutalism. Designed to be levelled in 20 years
You’ll grow to love it
Formalism. A sickness in architecture. And this has only a mild case,… but it’s Sweden, where they usually had good ‘vaccines’ to combat such sickness.
Looks nice but very out of place
Someone played too much Jenga!
I just see a lot of nice spots for birds(pigeons) to nest.
Oh how controversial..
Not new
I’m probably going to get downvoted for this, but honestly…it’s not *that* bad. Sure, I don’t love the heavy concrete, but the imagines of the inside look quite nice, and the modern eccentricity of the buildings are better than the soulless brutalism that fills the outskirts of London, Paris, and most Eastern European cities. It’s also good that they’re building; at the end of the day, better to have large towers than a housing crisis.
Leave it to the swedes to complain about nice buildings and living conditions.

I can see the rest of the world like
“Yeah, Ugh! Awful!”
Quite 1970s looking, but I’ve seen worse.
You have to have some degree of high rise residential in cities, and that isn’t bad looking.
I kind of like it, there are much worse buildings (especially apartments) built like shoe boxes everywhere in Stockholm
Looks good
I like it.
looks cool
Better to live in the ugly building than across the street from it…
