Ankarspelet Barometergatan 58 211 17 Malmö Ankerspelet is a public housing project built for MKB, and the 70 apartments are situated on the harbour front of Malmo The precise but varied building complex is shaped like a geometrical cliff with ravines, passages and crevices and defines the western border of the new urbanisation of Vastra Hamnen The interplay between the variedly displaced facades challenges and yet respects the general urban planning of the area, and creates a spatial filter and an articulated threshold between the private and the public space and the city and the open space of Øresund Project is not public! 2009 Kim Utzon HelleBeelden http://wwwmimoaeu/users/kinkylla/guides/malm%c3%b6/ 12
