Residential Qualities
The top floor of the building is a glass-enclosed party room and terrace with panoramic views of Stockholm.[2][7] There is an indoor swimming pool and sauna on a lower level.[2][8] A fountain sculpture at the Tower's base, La Fontaine aux quatre Nanas by French-American artist Niki de Saint Phalle, attracts many viewers due to its styling and location adjacent to a heavily used path between Stockholm South Station and the plaza Medborgarplatsen.
Criticism
The development at Fatburen district was poorly received by some architectural critics, with one review specifically highlighting the South Tower as "a monument to post-modernism as a playhouse for urban development."[5]
