Winter in Sweden

Winter in Sweden


A few years ago a new, very small village was built at Lillgården in Tungelsta. Six wooden houses, all painted with the traditional color Falu red. What I really like is the grass covered roof on the smaller buildings. They also have the traditional fence that we call a Gärdesgård, and all this combined makes for an idyllic view I think. Modern houses but with a more old style feeling.

  1. I can't get enough of red houses, especially if they have a grass roof!
