Bofills Båge (Swedish: "Bofill's Crescent") is a residential building on Södermalm, Stockholm, Sweden, at 59°18′51″N 18°4′5″E / 59.31417°N 18.06806°E / 59.31417; 18.06806. The building was designed by the Spanish architect Ricardo Bofill and constructed between 1991 and 1992.
The building complex is formed by the crescent-shaped building with a diameter of 180 metres, along with a total of five smaller apartment buildings. The complex contains about 300 apartments, shops, offices and underground parking space. It forms part of a large urban redevelopment where the old southern railyard was converted into city blocks mainly with housing developments. The Crescent is flanked by Söder Torn, a residential highrise building designed by Henning Larsen.
In the architect's words, "The crescent façade is of simple, pure lines in accordance with traditional Nordic architecture."
