Fiskfjäll

The old stationhouse
Detail from the Century old station-house in Tungelsta. The wooden panelling used here is called called Fiskfjäll. The building was designed by the famous architect Ferdinand Boberg. Today there's a handicraft boutique here, but the old train dispatcher still lives in an apartment on the second floor with his wife.

That wood is quite beautiful and certainly different than anything I've seen here. Some of the houses in the Trilogy resort are of wood construction and I asked about that because of the hurricanes and we were told that the wood is rated just as strong as concrete block in terms standing up to a rricanel

I'd love to see the whole building.

That paneling is unusual to my eyes.
