Super Shiny Homes: Swedish Cabin Extension
I was wandering around the Neocribs blog the other day when I came across this … a hairy rough-hewn hunter-gatherer kind of a house in the middle of a Swedish forest.
Being Swedish, of course, it’s also beautifully designed – a perfectly pitched combination of Red Cedar wood shingles, Birch lattice, plasterwork, and reindeer fur.
Reindeer fur?? Yep, there’s a whole room clad with the stuff – and very snug, if slightly kinky, it looks too.
The building is an extension to an original cabin from the 1800s located on the shore of lake Övre Gla in the Glaskogen nature reserve in Sweden.
Wonder what would happen if you tried to get planning permission for a wildly experimental fur-lined cabin in the middle of a nature reserve in England…?

might need to change the lining for faux fur, but hey.
