Building a house in the Swedish woods
This site documents the planning and construction of a little Scandinavian design cabin nestled in the forest in a hidden part of Småland, Sweden. From sketch to moving in and managing the surrounding woodland.
About Me
A Scottish guy in Copenhagen
I’m Steve. A Scottish guy who lives in Copenhagen, Denmark. I’ve always loved adventure and exploring new places, which led me to move to Copenhagen some years ago. In the winter of 2020, mid-pandemic, I bought a chunk of forest in Sweden, and I am now enjoying the challenge of building a small forest-dwelling that feels remote, from the ground up.
