Tommie Wilhelmsen's Kolonihagen Summerhouse

Standard Disclaimer: We know, second homes are evil. But they are such wonderful demonstrations of the talent of young architects, and they so often demonstrate how much can be done with small spaces. They just as easily could be first homes, and some of them are gems.
As an example, Tommie Wilhelmsen's Kolonihagen Summerhouse is full of neat ideas. The big gesture is the sleeping loft hanging out over the entrance, creating a covered porch below and a lovely sleeping area above.



The furniture is all built in;

and the kitchen doesn't get any more minimalist than this.

where is the bathroom?
I'm surprised if that lasts even 10 years of rains and snow.
According to the site the house, including furniture and property, cost about $ 16500.
Muito interessante ! vou copiar essa idéia aqui no Brasil.
why should this not last?
What is the over/under on the number of kids they have?
