A showcase of beautiful contemporary homes in rural Scandinavia.This book celebrates a way of life that combines comfort, elegance and simplicity with a strong love of nature.The authors begin by identifying The Essence of the Look. They explain that creating homes in the Scandinavian countryside gives architects and interior designers a free hand to try out new materials, styles and shapes, and allows them to reconnect with traditional elements of Scandinavian style such as Danish thatched roofs, Finnish saunas, Norwegian hiking retreats and Swedish fishermen's cottages. They show how this style can be adapted to many different homes, from traditional cottages to ultra-modern boxes.
