Tiny Light Green Wooden Summer Cottage in Sweden is an Efficient Showstopper

ByMyProperty Life

A cabin in the woods that you can enjoy in warmer summer months is one that we all dream of. It is the perfect getaway that not only takes you far from the rush of daily life, but also brings everyone in the family together. The lovely and minimal Granholmen Summer Cottage in Luleå Ö, Sweden is one such beautiful escape where you can enjoy the beauty of lush green forest landscape, a lovely waterfront that leads to the island home and the many sights and sounds of nature without any disturbances. Designed by Bornstein Lyckefors + Josefine Wikholm, the summer cottage feels organic and minimal both on the outside and indoors.

The design of the cottage itself is classic with its vaulted ceilings and simple rectangular form accentuating the picture-perfect appeal. Light green on the outside of the cabin was a conscious choice that ensures it blends with the natural scenery around it. The pastel green shade used also adds to its overall summer charm and makes it a great vacation home that leaves its residents with a lifetime of memories. The erected copper-green ceiling also plays a major role in shaping the final choice of color on the outside.

  • Burnt Cedar

    This is a full-time beach house for a car passionate family of four situated across from Burnt Cedar Beach in Incline Village, Nevada on the north shore of Lake Tahoe. Prior to being pulled up the hill to flumes and rails destined for Virginia City, logs were staged here as the mountains around the lake shore were logged during the silver mining years of the 1860s. Set into a neighborhood originally built in the 1950s and bordered by houses to the sides and rear, the house takes a simple box form, half buried into the slope. It faces the lake with full height glazing that encloses a loft-like plan with double height living spaces. The clients requested a space that felt like the landscape and maintained a feeling inside of being outside in the light and shadow play of the sixty to ninety-foot Jeffrey and Ponderosa pines that populate the lake shore.  Perforated wood ceilings and acoustical plaster walls soften the sounds of the concrete and glass pavilion-like house. An underground garage is excavated under the house with level access to the street, a must in this snowy climate for a family with an eclectic car collection.
