The Hat Home, Tina Bergman Architects’ newest residential venture, is an idyllic forest retreat seemingly coming straight out of the land of fairy tales, and tucked away within the woods close to Tänndalen in west Sweden. The London-based, Sweden-born architect conceived this compact piece of cabin structure for a household of 5, their canine, and their many occasional friends.

On the similar time, the construction takes its materials cues from its pure surroundings, that includes a spruce ground, superbly weathered Kebony pine coronary heart cladding, with a glulam and softwood total framework building. Massive home windows additional good this synergy between land and structure. ‘It’s a home intensely following the seasons of the yr; the blue faint gentle of midwinter, the bursting inexperienced of latest summer season, the misty yellows of the autumn mountains,’ stated Bergman.
