KVARTERET OXKÄRRAN
Med de två bostadshusen i starkt grön och röd puts på ömse sidor om Malmskillnadsgatan fylldes ett hål igen i stadsbilden efter City- omvandlingens rivningar. Arkitekten Sune Malmquist (Arndt & Malmquist Arkitekter AB) har här skapat ett formspråk, tydligt inspirerat av de närbelägna Kungstornens och Konsert- husets 20-talsklassicism. Byggnaderna, uppförda 1992-1996, har kritiserats som stilimiterande pastischarkitektur men också prisats som ett intressant postmodernistiskt infill-projekt.

The two residential buildings completed in 1996 were designed by Sune Malmquist as infill for this challenging site. They show evi- dent allusions to the neighbouring tower blocks and the concert hall in a neo-classical vein. The postmodernist design has been both prized and criticized.

Oxtorgsgatan Neighborhood
With the two residential buildings in strong green and red plaster on either side of Malmskillnadsgatan, a hole was filled in the cityscape after the demolitions of the City transformation. The architect Sune Malmquist (Arndt & Malmquist Arkitekter AB) has created a design language here, clearly inspired by the 20th-century classicism of the nearby Kungstornen and Konserthuset. The buildings, erected in 1992-1996, have been criticized as style-imitating pastiche architecture but also praised as an interesting postmodernist infill project.
