Medborgarplatsen metro station
Medborgarplatsen metro station

Medborgarplatsen, formerly known as Södra Bantorget, is a station on the Green line of the Stockholm metro. It is situated near to the Medborgarplatsen square in the district of Södermalm in central Stockholm, and lies below Götgatan between its junctions with Noe Arksgränden and Folkungagatan. The station has a single island platform, which is accessed by entrances at the junction of Götgatan with Folkungagatan, and in the Björns trädgård. The distance to Slussen is 0.6 km (0.37 mi).Medborgarplatsen is, along with Skanstull, the oldest underground station on the metro, actually predating that system by some years. The station lies in the Södertunneln, a tunnel originally built in 1933 for use by routes 8 and 19 of the Stockholm tramway. Originally known as Södra Bantorget, the station took its current name in 1944. In 1950, it became part of Stockholm's first metro line when the Södertunneln was adapted to become part of the line from Slussen south to Hökarängen. This adaption required an extension of the station platforms to the north to accommodate the metro's trains, and this work was not completed when the line opened on 1 October, with the station not reopening until 1 November. The entance in the Björns trädgård was opened on 29 November 1995.The walls of the station have yellow tiles, partly original from the 1930s. As part of Art in the Stockholm metro project, Gunnar Söderström designed the color scheme of the pillars and walls in 1979. In the southern ticket hall there is a wall decoration and floor mosaic by Mari Pårup from 1997.

Skatteskrapan
Skatteskrapan

Skatteskrapan ("The Tax Scraper") is a 26-storey, 86 m (282 ft) building in Stockholm, Sweden. It is located at Götgatan 76 in the district of Södermalm, in a block named Gamen (The Vulture). With an initial height of 81 metres and 25 floors, it was the tallest building in Sweden from its completion in 1959 to 1964 when it was surpassed by the 84 metres tall Dagens Nyheter Tower. The building was designed by architect Paul Hedqvist for the Swedish National Tax Board (hence its name). It served as the office of the Tax Board until 2003, when it was decided under then Mayor of Stockholm Annika Billström that the building be rebuilt internally to turn it into student apartments. Svenska Bostäder took over ownership of the building from its former host Vasakronan on 29 December 2003. In 2008 the building was bought by AP Fastigheter which soon merged with Vasakronan. The building is protected as a cultural landmark by the City of Stockholm, which means it can't be rebuilt externally. The skyscraper, as rebuilt by Skanska, now has 415 student apartments as well as office and conference space on the top floors. Connecting with the rebuilt building, another seven-floor building was built on a side with 61 student apartments and 19 general rental apartments. On the first and second floors of the skyscraper, and in the side building, there is now space used for shops and restaurants. The official name of the new building complex is Skrapan (The Scraper). In the rebuilding process a new floor with a skybar was added at the top, increasing the floor count to 26.
