It’s a stunning place, not only for the architecture, but for the location. Found in one of the area’s most sought-after postcodes and described by the agent as a part of Sweden’s architectural history, the house was built in the 1970s, the work of Leonie (Lola) Geisendorf, who studied under Le Corbusier.

The outside is all austere concrete and glazing, which is in stark contrast to the much softer Scandinavian feel of the inside. It’s a contrast that works well. Talking of working well also brings us to the balconies and glazing, which take advantage of that the wonderful coastal location. A dream home in a dream location.

As we said, go beyond the exterior ‘concrete villa’ and you’ll find a house that’s all light and space within, thanks in part to the clean walls, open living areas and double height ceilings. Modernised obviously, but not to the point of adversely affecting the design.

As for space, there is an ‘airy’ living room with fireplace, large glass windows and high ceilings, along with a dining room, kitchen, guest toilet, office and laundry on the ground floor.

The garden was apparently designed by ‘Sweden’s foremost landscape architect’ Ulf Nordfjell and is described as a ‘park-like oasis’ with greenery, trees, an orangery, several terraces and patios plus low concrete walls.
