The house is located in Kummelnäs, near Stockholm. The cottage from 1850 had been used as a summer retreat since the 1960's. It was in bad condition, but with an intact timber log structure on a robust stone foundation. Its 60 sqm in one level was transformed in a hasty renovation in 2006, including raising the roof, into 90 sqm in two storeys. The original building was given a new life in a traditional style. The whole facade and its detailing, as well as all windows  were painted with a gray linseed oil paint.
