Design Inspiration: The Loft House, Bergaliv, Sweden

Escapism with a view in Northern Sweden is exactly what the Loft House in Bergaliv provides. A modern day stylish tree house for adults is the best way to describe this architectural project. Designed by Architect, Hanna Michelson from Swedish, Stockholm based, architectural firm Tham & Videgård . The Loft House consists of two rooms measuring 14sqm sitting on top of each other. The rooms are then raised of the ground using a timber framework, creating a lodge in the trees. The land on which the Loft House stands was bought by Staffan Michelson a couple of years ago when he was looking to buy some woodland in his ancestors´ Hälsingland and he then named the land Bergaliv. The Loft House is the first of four planned spaces to be built on the land to create getaway spaces for guests. The minimalist interior of the Loft house has a very Swedish aesthetic, with paired down colours and simple designs used to maximise the space and clean lines. The space has a very natural finish without being rustic. Futon beds are hung on the wall allowing the small space on the lower level to be used as both a bedroom and a living space. The Mayday floss lamp can be hung on the wall or placed anywhere in the room. They allow the guest complete flexibility to be used as a reading lamp, table lamp or bedside lamp as needed.   We love this corner window seat area with the large window allowing you to just sit and gaze out at the view but if this space is not relaxing enough then the upper level offers an even more minimalist space. The upper level of the Loft House is laid completely bare, allowing the visitor to see only the view and feel the sense of elevation as you sit amongst the tree tops. An ideal spot to spend some time doing absolutely nothing.   All images via the Bergaliv website: www.bergaliv.se
