Inspired by boat.


The building of this getaway home in Sweden was inspired by a boathouse. It’s quite efficient in its use of space to maximize storage and facilitate a convenient layout like the loft space below. The homeowners also wanted the house to be one with its environment and they accomplished this by using materials that are indigenous to the area. Did i also mention that the house is right on the sea?




I love how the home is simple in its decor and doesn’t compete with the awesome vistas around it. I’m also loving that hammock.

  2. I love it! And I totally feel the same way about how it doesn't compete with the gorgeous vistas. It's clean, simple and well thought out. You want to be outdoors in such a setting anyway. No need to have the interior be lavish.

    Have a wonderful weekend :)
