The 94 houses on Ålstensgatan in Bromma are a classic example of Swedish functionalism. They were designed by architect Paul Hedqvist and built in the 1930s. The street has become a symbol for the political term “the people’s home”, which aimed to build a society without class barriers.. [2688×1242]

   Pretty ugly ngl. Of course one would expect it from the type of people who want to remove class barriers

   That’s very interesting, these houses look very avant garde if you take into account that they were built in the 1930s. It’s not that surprising that they’ve become so appreciated and expensive, they look almost timeless with their clean and simple lines. You should also post them in /r/ModernistArchitecture.
