How Villa Österlen Balances Communal Connection and Quiet Retreat

I recently came across Villa Österlen, and it’s just stunning! It’s a modern home in southern Sweden designed by Note Design Studio, and what I love is how it takes inspiration from the classic, long farmhouse style of the region – they call it a skånelänga. It’s built in a historically protected area, and the architects cleverly worked with the natural slope of the land and how the sun hits it. It feels both really connected to the local traditions and totally fresh and modern at the same time. It’s a beautiful blend of old and new!
