Squeezed onto a triangular plot between Torsgatan and the railway yard at Norra Bantorget in central Stockholm, Rosenbergs Arkitekter’s Flat Iron Building lies like a wedge with a characteristic point. Built by Skanska and completed in 2009, the office building was meant to recall New York’s Flatiron Building, according to Swedish Wikipedia. Source Source Reported
