Michael, a freelance Art Director who works daily in Copenhagen, bought
this little gem of a place as a second home in Sweden some 15 years ago.
It was originally built as a soldiers croft in the early 1900's, named
after the soldiers that were given a piece of land to build a house on
after returning home from battle. During the renovation, Michael peeled
everything back to reveal the bare constructional bones of the place.
This was certainly not a bad idea, for the full timber is now seen, raw
and untouched, both in the kitchen and the first Hall. When it came to
the ceiling, beautiful beams were soon revealed and Michael was in no
doubt that they should remain visible, giving the room a great sense of
atmosphere and size.
