“In my world the artist and viewer have inner similarities. When I choose art the decision is fully based on my own preferences. My inner boils wildly just like Hill, Josephson och Strindberg.”
Sven-Harry Karlsson
The building has dual functions – housing and culture – and functions separately from each other with two separate entrances from Eastmansvägen. On top of the building you find a replica of Sven-Harry’s former home Ekholmsnäs at Lidingö. The design was made by Wingårdhs Arkitektkontor in consultation with Sven-Harry himself.
”It is what’s inside – the art – that makes this building public. The cover is only an advertisement.”

The surface of the facade consists of the same alloy as the Swedish 10 krona and the Euro. From afar, it looks like a jewelry box, whose main task is to protect its jewels behind solid sheets of metal. Sven-Harry Karlsson, the man behind the construction and housing company Folkhem, had the house built in 2011. The building is today a landmark in the middle of Vasaparken and contains his lifelong interest in architecture and art.
