A Remote Retreat Designed by Swedish Survivalists - Remodelista
Photos courtesy of Urnatur unless otherwise noted. What more could one want in a forest other than protection from wild animals, weather, and wind? Perhaps a cup of strong Swedish coffee. Strotz designed the huts to blend into their surroundings, the way ancient huts would have been camouflaged by their mossy environs. Owners Hí¥kan Strotz and Ulrika Krynitz bought their small farm in 1993 before turning it into guest retreat. The smallest cabin, a tree house, sleeps only one. The Tin Castle, the building nearest the road, offers electricity (though candles are clearly still preferred). The Wolf Cot offers dormitory style beds to those wanting a more communal stay. Daylight hours are brief, and trays of candles and kerosene lamps are the only sources of light back to cabins in the dark. The huts are meant to have a very Spartan feel; “small, dark, and hence very cozy.” Photo via Anthology Magazine. A table set with nothing more than white plates and Queen Ann’s lace. I, too, hope someday to brew coffee on a mossy forest floor while looking impossibly Scandi chic.
