It is that time of year in Scandinavia when every person is falling in excess of by themselves to take pleasure in the lengthy-awaited warmer climate (we’re chatting 16 C/ 60 F currently – we are going to consider it!). When some will be on the lookout ahead to hanging out in their garden or local parks this lender getaway, there are other folks who will be biking across city to their ‘kolonistuga‘. Nestled on koloniområdes or ‘allotments’, these, compact and often just-decorated cabins supply a ideal possibility to improve your very own veg and rest in a inexperienced oasis without the need of heading out of city. In spring the drinking water and electrical energy are turned on for the period and the allotment communities spring to everyday living! This gorgeous allotment cottage in Slottsskogskolonien, Gothenburg is a excellent case in point. Located on a plot much from the highway, the 27 m2 / 290 f2 cottage delivers all the silence and stillness of the countryside as perfectly as comfortable beds for an afternoon siesta or overnight keep – a genuine oasis!
The exterior gives the impression that the cottage is rooted in the earlier, so I was fairly taken back again when I observed the interior images! On closer examination nevertheless, the cottage was essentially crafted in 2020 and the older overall look lends itself to upcycled windows and doorways – a fantastic nod to the former house on the plot.
The proprietors have extra modern-day comforts and modern touches these types of as marble countertops in the kitchen and a wooden burning stove by the sofa. Having said that, to use the loo and shower you’d will need to navigate the limited length to the communal bathroom close by.
I really like how the wood ground has been painted diverse colours which assist to carve out zones within just the open up-plan room. The storage is also really clever – doubling up as home dividers.
In the course of the working day, the twin beds double up as seating to variety an indoor dining place.
In a natural way, the most significant attribute for an allotment cottage is the back garden. This charming place gains from a experienced backyard garden with plum, apple, and pear trees as perfectly as favourites such as roses, tulips and daffodils and the much more uncommon Japanese snowball, Amer maple and flowering dogwood plants.
So idyllic!
