Résumé:
The traditions of residential design in Sweden are inseparable from the history of the country itself and from the history of construction in Scandinavia. This illustrated volume presents historic wood houses - castles, cottages, stately homes, rectories, seaside bathing huts, barns and sawmills - from the seventeenth century to the present. Also shown in detail are wooden churches and even entire towns built of wood. Among the buildings featured are a farmhouse on the Sorby country estate dating from the second half of the seventeenth century; the childhood home and the adult estate, Hammarby, of the influential botanist LLinnaeus (complete with lecture pulpit and specimen collection cabinet): and Gunnebo, a lavish wooden interpretation of an Italian villa built for wealthy merchant John Hall. With photographs by Ingalill Snitt.
