A New Skyline

Architecture: A New Skyline

Ultra Swank continues to collaborate with British lifestyle magazine Chic Today and today the second article from me was published in their magazine. It is called A New Skyline and focuses its attention on the architectural changes in the western harbor in Malmö, Sweden. Not more than 20 years ago it was a rural and industrial area. Today it is a upscale and chic residential area with a 54 story designers dream skyscraper as its crown jewel. Comments are as always much appreciated.

Oh and by way, Ultra Swank celebrated its 3 year anniversary on September 1st!

    Congrats on the latest article! One day you’ll own the magazine! Happy 3rd birthday as well.

  • Chris

    Thanks Charles! And by the way, what are you doing up at five in the morning? Making evil schemes to take over the world from your lair I suppose?

  • Charles

    I’m an early riser. I don’t want to take over the world. I just want to invade and conquer the evil empire–Canada–so that we can add more states to the union. Once that has occurred, I plan to build WalMarts all over Sweden so that American mediocrity will be felt. Oh wait! The world has felt American mediocrity for 8 years. Ummm. Nevermind! I’ll hatch another plan.

  • Chris

    No need for any Walmarts! We already have plenty of McDonalds, Burger Kings, Pizza Huts, Wayne’s Coffees and who knows what else. Good luck with the elections, don’t screw it up again people ;-)

Ultra Swank takes you back in time into the kitsch, chic and swank living of the 50s, 60s and the 70s. We mainly focus on the design, architecture and the lifestyle of the happy-go-lucky and space-age-living mentality of that era – but also on the music and movies that takes you back to happier times. Ultra Swank is run by Chris, a Swede born in the wrong decade that currently resides in Barcelona. Read more
