The beauty around us that we sometimes don’t notice. Colours, shapes, vegetation – the arranged flower bed to the overgrown – so inspiring & liberating. Nature’s beauty.

National Day
Two historical events were crucial to our country & hence the celebration of Sweden’s National Day.
June 6, 1523 Gustav Vasa is elected king of Sweden. Sweden then broke out of the Kalmar Union with Denmark & Norway & became an independent country with its own king & a new royal dynasty – the Vaasa family.
June 6, 1809, Parliament wrote under the form of government that laid the foundation for modern Sweden & the foundations of our state, which paved the way for the democracy Sweden is known for today.
National Day is also a secular holiday. Which makes it possible for everyone, regardless of belief, to wind up around National Day.
It strengthens the image of a country based on shared values & democracy – important pillars of our development.
We also celebrate our fantastic nature with the universal right, the long period of peace & freedom, the modern industry, our cultural heritage & architecture.
In the spring of 1893 the first spring party was held at Skansen in Stockholm – the party got its end on June 6 with a big flag party. Flag Day 1983 became our official national day & from 2005 also national holiday.
Terrace
Looks lovely with a porch / terrace that extends along the facade down to the water – with a wooden deck opposite with room for lazy activities. Picture perfect for a summer holiday.

Modular
For those who want to build a modular house on their own, there are a plethora of different models to choose from. Log cabin or turnkey winter-boned house – the freedom & creativity is great, as long as you follow construction & design rules. In Sweden the rule for these kind of house models from Attefallshus, has to be max be 30 square meters in outer dimensions.
Cabin
It looks nice with a small nice cabin with lush manageable surroundings and just the right size …
