Swedish stalking
Tue, 30 Nov 2010
Real estate stalking is a global phenomenon. It crosses all boarders and infects all races. Well all of us who are design freaks anyway ;) Stylist Mikael Beckman has it as bad as I do. He sent us this link to an amazing house 30 minutes from the centre of Stockholm. Perfect combination of mid century modern, land and lifestyle.

You found my dream home!
I am amazed more and more each day with Scandinavian architecture and design.
This house sits so comfortably on the land. Everything is soothing and so pleasing to the eye and soul.
I wonder if this house is used in the Summer only. It would interesting to view what it looks like when inside- looking outside with
the snow from the large expanses of glass.
Fabulous. Masterpiece. I want this house. I would change nothing on the exterior and the landscaping. As for the inside, I would just make it more "me". I love the windows!
Just my cup of tea! Light, light and more light.
I totally agree with Christina...you found my dream country home, although mine would be a bit smaller because large homes overwhelm me!
why, oh why, can't north america do at all what sweden does so effortlessly? gorgeous, as usual.
I love this!!! ............it really is a dream home, not to modern, not to overdone and so light. Christina it is not a summer house, it's probably lovely during the dark cold winter.
This home is absolutely breath taking. It kind of reminds me of a Frank LLoyd Wright house in the sense that it's very organic.

Beautiful. So much inspiration for our next home. Our dining - kitchen - living room will be exactly the same layout and with that wall of windows, only sans stairs. Thanks for these photos!
OH MY! That is my house!!! I wish.........

I like all but the dinky room with two uncomfortable looking twin beds, what looks like cement floor, and sink stuck on the wall. Maybe this is for the stepchildren, or so guests don't come back?
Who is the Architect?
the embodiment of natural light! love it! SALUD
Perfect place to live - so simple, so airy... Wish to live here:)
Love the all white kitchen!
absolutely adored it...i love the way the stark white and contemporary lines were softened with the homely touches, gentle but bright sploshes of colour ...the wood and the beautiful surroundings...a dream.
Place was OK, it was the comments that spoiled it.
"This house sits so comfortably on the land."
What does that mean? Like you would expect it to look like it had an itchy ass and couldn't wait to move to California?
Danielle- See a shrink if you have agoraphobia, or move in a closet.
Polish Chick- Have you never heard of CAPITAL letters?
Sarah-"I like all but the dinky room with two uncomfortable looking twin beds, what looks like cement floor, and sink stuck on the wall. Maybe this is for the stepchildren, or so guests don't come back? "
Hell woman, what a cowbag you are! The Step children?-Cruella herself!
Mahiya- I just give up with you.
Shadwell: Do you have your head wedged so far up your ass that you feel the need to police harmless blog comments, or are you just a troll? Either way you should remove the sand from your vag and go somewhere else.
alli = *high five*
Alli, to be quite honest by the time I had got down to Shadwells comment, I was wondering who the numbskulls were with their lackluster comments. Especially the Stepchildren comment which I thought was gross.
This place looks like it was built for Autumn, he says being controversial. Just with its woody facade. It is very textured with the gravel outside but very smooth and cubic on the inside. Enough windows to let you feel as if you weren't stuck indoors.
Incidentally, I do approve of correct spelling when you comment on a Blog, it just seems good manners really.
I do think your comment "Alli" was in pretty poor taste.
I love the mixture of glass and white theme. It allows a lot of light to enter the space thus giving it a more ambient feel.
The location of the house is just perfect. And I love that fireplace, the whole contrast hits my tastebuds.
Lovely to find this blogpost. This house was built by and for my parents, after they had spent 10 yeras in Switzerland. It is thus inspired by the simplicity of Swiss architecture (which you often also see in Sweden). Today my parents have sold this villa and built yet another home. We all loved it very much and it is still fond of our hearts. It looked, for sure, beautiful in the wintertime. (For those who wonder - the guestrrom beds were very comfortable)!
