"Inside, we exhale. Bleached pine beams line the ceiling and frame enormous windows, which flood the space with light and send shadows of leaves dancing across the concrete floor. At Stenberg's suggestion, we remove our shoes and feel the cool of the original concrete foundation beneath our feet, shaved down to create a natural terrazzo."
"Even the bathroom feels elemental. Built from Swedish granite, it's dark and cave-like, with just a sliver of treetop visible from a high-set window. The sink, carved from an outdoor paving stone, has been chiselled into a shallow bowl in another nod to nature and craftsmanship. That evening we head to Saint Eriksplan for dinner at Portal, one of Stenberg's favourite restaurants. But before we leave, there's time to watch the light fade with an aperitivo in the downstairs dining space. It's fitted with SMEG appliances and seamless cabinetry, cupboards hidden behind sleek white panels. Even inside them, a sense of calm prevails - every piece of glassware delicately ordered."
The house emphasizes a seamless connection between indoors and outdoors through large windows, bleached pine beams, and a stripped concrete foundation finished as a natural terrazzo. Natural materials and craftsmanship are foregrounded in elements like Swedish granite bathrooms and a sink carved from outdoor paving stone. Industrial metal stairs and boucle furniture provide tactile contrast while directing attention to water views and a jagged cliff wall as focal points. The dining area balances sleek modern appliances and concealed cabinetry with an ordered calm. Minimalist bedrooms and changing light create an intimate, contemplative atmosphere even on rainy mornings.
