The 140-meter-long building of Filmhuset in Stockholm by architect Peter Celsing should resemble a camera, with the lens in the north. The exposed concrete façade consists of elements designed with the intention to look like filmstrips. Visitors have to ascend a long ramp to get to the main entrance. The building houses the Swedish Film Institute, a foundation established in 1963 with the aim of strengthening and developing the national film production. Hence, inside there are three cinemas, studios, an archive, a library, and two floors of office spaces.

The building’s premises underwent a major renovation in 2008 to create a modern, open-plan office landscape. 

Filmhuset is declared with the code blue, the highest ranking in terms of cultural and historical value of buildings by the Stadsmuseet Stockholm.
