Commissioned by Byggnadsfirman Wallin, the renowned Wingårdh Arkitektkontor designed Kvartetten—four modern residential buildings clearly inspired by Lake Shore Drive in Chicago, USA. They are named Sopranen, Alten, Tenoren, and Basen, after the four original voices of a quartet. With clean, stylish façades in glass and aluminum in harmonious metallic tones, they form a beautiful, functional, and visionary part of the city.

Welcome to a rare grand residence Set within an impressive turn-of-the-century building, this distinguished apartment spans 259 square metres and comprises seven rooms. Here, the splendour of the late 19th century meets award-winning contemporary architecture. The residence features four heritage-listed salons arranged en enfilade, meticulously restored to their original condition under the supervision of the City Antiquarian. These magnificent reception rooms are defined by impressive ceiling heights, richly ornamented stucco work, beautiful tiled stoves, elaborate ceiling paintings, tall mirrored doors and deep window niches details that together create an exceptional sense of historic grandeur. Swedish history and distinguished provenance The building was designed by architect Alfred Hellerström in 1891. This residence was originally created by industrialist Carl Becker and his wife Elisabeth. Elisabeth Becker continued to reside here until the 1930s, after which the apartment served as office premises for several decades. In 2010, the property was acquired by a builder, which carefully restored the four heritage-listed salons to their original condition with great respect for the building’s history. The ceiling paintings, executed by the artist Vicke Andrén, also known for his work at the Royal Swedish Opera, Oscar Theatre and Van der Nootska Palace, highlight the apartment’s artistic and historical significance. The renovation was awarded the Stockholm Heritage Association’s Building Prize for a distinguished restoration in 2012.
