This article is more than a year old and may contain information that is out of date. Sorry about that.
Located in a rural region of northern Stockholm, this property was completed in 2013 as a family retreat.
The design follows a strict proportional ratio of 1:3, measuring six metres in depth, 18 in length and six in height.
The facade is clad with horizontal pine panels – painted black with a traditional Swedish paint, Falu Rödfärg. In contrast to the black exterior, the interior of the house from the walls to the floors, is dominated by white.
