Warm Display of Scandinavian Design in a Relatively Small Home


Even though this beautiful apartment found on Alvhem stretches over a surface of only 61 square meters, it gives out the impression of so much more space. Located in Gothenburg, the crib consists of two rooms plus kitchen and bathroom. The layout is clever and practical, providing quite a few inspiring decorating solutions.  The living room is literally bathed in light thanks to the high window in the south and double doors leading out to the balcony. Although the kitchen provides space for four people, it’s great to be able to socialize with friends over dinner in the living room also. A large sofa and a generous coffee table seem to call out for guests. With windows facing one of the neoghbourhood’s most greenest and largest courtyard, the bedroom is bright and quiet. The deep window, combined with the stylish stucco and painted white wooden floor maintains the traditional feel of the building. Notice any details you like?

Modern US Home Inspired by the Ingenious Functionality of Scandinavian Design


Showcasing an optimum indoor-outdoor connection, this modern residence designed byJendretzki Architects offers a practical an healthy living environment. According to the architects, “this new pavilion added to an existing mid century house in the Rustic Canyon area of Santa Monica bordering the Pacific Palisades involved negotiating the high functioning requirements of a Los Angeles based family and their love for Scandinavian design and detailing”. Simple lines and ingenious functionality are two of the main features of the Santa Monica Residence.



The building has a total surface of 12,000 square feet and is well connected with its surroundings: “By utilizing a muted material palette of light toned wood and glass we were able to harmoniously engage the southern California sun and create a tranquil work studio and inviting home.” The interiors are characterized by a minimalist approach, with wood playing a major role in creating a friendly atmosphere; have a look and tell us what you think!
