Mon, Aug 10, 2009 | Small home designs | By Mike
Wingardhs Mill House is a manifestation of the Swedish ritual of sauna and bathing. It’s an annex to a old farm in Vastra Karup, the country side of southern Sweden, which was converted into a vacation and sauna house. Besides the sauna space there are rooms for undressing, washing and relaxing. The traditional ritual of sauna involves baking together and dashing out for an invigorating dip in a cold water. To make the process flawless small pool was built adjacent to the sauna. Besides the pool there are small garden near it. The house’s interior is very bring and light thanks to it large windows and the cladding is done in natural wood. [Wingardhs, via dornob]

This is such an elegant and earthy design! My dream house to a T. What sort of branches are used in the fencing? I think New Mexican salt cedar could work beautifully in a similar vein.

Excellent house, but Sauna is a Finnish tradition and Finnish word. There’s nothing Swedish in it.

This house looks great but it would seem that the bedroom is a little clostrophobic. but over all i love it
