Because the Swedes are not content to just have the furniture game on lock, the country's architects and homeowners have also conspired to produce dreamy summer houses across the northern nation, too. After all, summer is a big deal across Scandinavia when it arrives after the region's notoriously dark, long, and cold winters. Designed by local firm Common Office, Villa Altona—in Sollentuna, Sweden, just north of Stockholm—is a corrugated-metal-clad concrete gem, rising two stories in a wooded area. As is the vogue, the interiors are very light and airy, with broad windows framing views of Rivendell Swedish evergreen forest.
