Wingardhs Mill House
“Wingardhs is committed to the artistic and poetic dimensions of architecture.”
Wingardhs Mill House in Vastra Karup, Sweden is a manifestation of the Swedish ritual of sauna and bathing.
Well I think they nailed this one. This house probably cost a pretty penny (therefore not an option for most of the people on the planet) but I couldn’t resist posting it due to the sheer beauty of it.
This place is basically a small vacation house with a sauna and an adjacent pool for the post-sauna-dip. I could live this way. How about you?

Small maybe, but cheap? Noooooo…: Nice house, beautiful house.
Cool! I want to rent it !
This is a very tranquil house, not too small, very nature oriented. Love the water right outside. People live in & take up too much space anyway.
I hope no one’s sitting on the couch while someone else is frying bacon.
i like it …
That’s not really all that small. I lived in a 330 sq ft efficiency for two months, that was pretty small. If it weren’t for the murphy bed, you couldn’t have walked from the bathroom to the kitchen.
Yes it is design the decision for increase in the area.
Wow, that’s a beautiful house.
Excellent! How does the fireplace design work for you?
yes, that fireplace. three sides glass? good way to finesse the open fireplace subject to all the meandering breezes. how DOES it draw? and do the glass panels discolor?
elegant, clean and yes, that fireplace. three sides glass? good way to finesse the open fireplace subject to all the meandering breezes. how DOES it draw? and do the glass panels discolor?
Nice pics indeed! ^)
wow! When can I move in? love the sauna!
Hi! very pleasing home,with the cost of energy going up and up it would not be feasible in cold winter climate of north america.Maybe if there was a house for -30 degree weather with this pleasing looks and living area..
Where’s the clothes closet…
Ethereally beautiful. I want to sit near the fireplace and dream.
nice house, i love the landscaping. however, lots of wood… too much wood. i question it’s sustainability a bit…
I don’t think that the designer was aiming for sustainability. I don’t think the wood is excessive at all. For me the fact that the house is basically made of wood, concrete, and stone tile(?) makes it a really cohesive….minimal house. It flows together beautifully.
I doubt any of the owner’s gripes have anything to do with frying bacon with guests over.
I love the idea but what is the price of a construction of this type. Can these houses be built any where ?
fantastic
There are houses such as this in Finland (well, not sure about the roof material) and we get -30 temperatures from time to time. The insulation of the walls and glass walls just needs to be good – there’s nothing more to it.
[...] hier begin ik dus van te dagdromen zie: een klein maar mooi en gezellig huisje genaamd Wingardhs Mill House. Afgaande op mijn beperkte kennis van materialen enzo, denk ik wel dat het niet goedkoop is. [...]
Wow, that’s a beautiful house.
I love the simplicity in which its designed and interior decorated.
Thank you for sharing,

Looks like the cost efficient house that a young couple would enjoy. . . .
I love it
How cool would it be to say,
“yah, that’s my house. . . . mmhmm!”
it’s so cute!!!!!!
yayz for “cutsey” houses!!!!!
I was amazed how easily the tranction from inside to out. As if one becons to the other. The house has a cozy feeling to it yet it connects you to the outdoors. I could see me living in this house up in the mountians somewhere.
I meant transition(big fingers always slipping up on the keys)
Very beautifull, japanese-style summer cottage. I do not believe that living in that hause all year long is possible, in Sweden or Finland, yet. Maybe later, when climate is milder and you don’t have to keep it warm.
Typically houses in Finland have 4-layer glass in their windos, and still it is just windows that leak the warm out.
Wood is sustainable. The stuff grows on trees. Unless you don’t have forests where you are.
I like the pool and some of the outside arrangement. I don’t think I like the geometries of the house itself, especially that uncomfortable peaked ceiling over the bed.
[...] Ingedeeld onder ‘t leven Als ik nu zou mogen kiezen waar ik wil wonen, dan komt dit huisje er toch dichtbij… Met dank aan [...]
Very sustainable indeed, wood and glass. When it get’s old, recycle it. Beautiful place, has a warming feel to it. I love the pattern in the staircase. Very unique.
Here at SmallHouseStyle we love aesthetics, beauty and form, but cost of living is definitely an issue. If you haven’t seen our post on another amazing design, the C3 by Vandeventer + Carlander Architects, you should check it out. The plans came down in price recently and our bet is that the C3 is much cheaper to build than the Mill House.
wow this house is amazing i really like the out side… it’s beautiful… nice work…
Could a house such as this be built in Africa and at what cost !!!!!
Wow, I love this house! It’s so cute!
Wow… simply amazing… VERY nice. Not very practical though.
Not bad for a small house.Good proportion and excellent details.But where do I park my car? I guess I can live without the automobile.Out of sight,out of mind.
Cool. But I don’t want to rent it, I want to own it. Communism rules, under Communism you and I and everybody can use it! When can I move in? Post the address, phone number and other details of the owners so that I can give them a call!
I just love it,so awesome good hide away,from everyone..
Liking the house! i don’t quite get the bathroom though…(8th pic down)
love the garden bit with the maze of weaved walls.
This is not a house…it´s two geometrical figures combined..
I love mathematics though – who..whitch, like the idea, is neutral – a basic (represents itself with the lack of personalty)…(whitch, again, is soo common these days..)
Hey, thats my house!
where do you put dirty clothes? or do you just walk around naked all the time?
Cool,bro`.Can I build one?Pleeeeez . . . .
[...] 80 CC de meest saaie en oninteressante weblog van het WWW « Bozzetto. Ontwerpen 1. februari 12, 2008 Morgen in de voormiddag heb ik voorjury van een ontwerp van een tweepersoonswoning. Het moet een vierkant ding zijn, aan de redelijk kleine kant (negen vierkanten met zijde 3,6m). Het deed me denken aan een sjieke post op eskimokaka.be (blog die ik volg) over Small Houses. Echt een maf ding, ik ben normaal aan grootse ruimtes maar dat is een echt cool klein huisje. Link vind je hier. [...]
wow. pretty.
[...] house is pretty simple compared to the Wingardhs Mill House. The ceilings are 14-feet tall in the living room. There are sparse furnishings, lightly colored [...]
This place is like a dream come true inside and out for me!
SHIRLEY: Do you understand that wood IS sustainable…… thats the whole point! Wheras materials such as concrete/plastic/metals are NOT. Think about it……
Great Job !
