Dark Walls, Wood Make For a Warm, Cozy Apartment in Sweden Posted: 07 Jan 2016 06:00 AM PST Discovered by Freshome on real estate broker Alvhem‘s website, this 721-square-foot apartment in Gothenburg, Sweden, features two rooms, an exquisite chef’s kitchen and access to the garden. As you step inside, you are greeted by a small hallway with Moroccan-inspired tiles on the floor. This area is linked to both rooms, a half-bath and a storage unit. The walls are painted a warm gray for a cozy feel, especially when complemented by the dark wood flooring. The built-in bookcase, painted the same tone as the walls, adds character to the living room. From there the balcony is accessed through glazed double doors. A stairway leads down to the garden, open to the building’s residents. The social core of the apartment, the kitchen has an intimate ambiance. The dark brown flooring and gray walls continue the elegant theme, while white subway tiles and artful lighting brighten the space. State-of-the-art appliances make this room inviting for cooking enthusiasts. The bedroom features a beautiful arched window and has more than enough space for a double bed, a desk area and clever storage solutions. Eclectic furnishings and accents add personality and pops of color throughout this cozy apartment. The post Dark Walls, Wood Make For a Warm, Cozy Apartment in Sweden appeared first on Freshome.com.

Minimalist Swiss Chalet Embraces Surrounding Vistas Posted: 06 Jan 2016 12:00 PM PST Savioz Fabrizzi Architects designed this chalet in the village of Val d’hérens, Switzerland. Constructed of concrete, this home has wood-clad upper levels that allude to the style of the barns in the area. This wood is carried inside for a smooth and sleek look. "On the ground floor, the daily rooms center around a concrete core leading to the four levels and integrating the bathrooms,” the architect said. “The slabs are cut around this core, generating visual relations between the floors." Chalet Val d’hérens‘ southern exposure allows for an abundance of light throughout the day. The minimalist home's main living space enjoys several impressive viewpoints, including the village to the northwest and the valley and mountains to the south and east. Although this Swiss chalet sits on a steep slope, the plateau where the home was constructed meant little impact to the land. A concrete terrace extends from the ground floor for outdoor entertaining.
