A Swedish Vacation House

Okay my peeps, 

I know we mostly like 'traditional' .

But it is important 

to be able to take away just 

one good idea 

from a design we may not be crazy about.

You can never have enough glass.

Right ?

COLD.

BUT, I like any kitchen that opens to an outdoor area.

Mine does....and I love it.

You don't ever feel claustrophobic.

I think the butcher block stairs and counter tops are an interesting idea.

I would like it in walnut or in limed oak.

 The stainless drawers are a great look.

The stairs have so much work in them.

I can appreciate the workmanship.

(but I would still like it better in walnut)

But I know they had their reasons.

This is supposed to be a Swedish Family home

where they take saunas together and then jump in a cold body of water.

Which happens to be right outside.

I love to do that too!!!

The glass fireplace is fabulous.

The glass walls are fabulous.

This space is fabulous.

But.....

I would do it differently.

Would you?

Oh look!

So that's where you place those floor lamps!!!

What did you 

come away with that you liked?

"The large old farm  house converted into vacation house for a family located at the nearby city of Malmo. The house especially designed to create a manifestation of the Swedish ritual of sauna and bathing. Apart from the sauna and attendant space for undressing, washing and relaxing , the mill house is also small dwelling. Surrounded by the beautiful natural garden while also appreciating the Japanese Zen master’s approach to finding the simple live. The traditional rite of sauna involves baking together and dashing out for an invigorating dip in a cold stream. See all photos, site plan and floor plan after the jump. Developer: Winggardhs"
