Sometimes I wonder if I wasn’t meant for Scandinavia. What with the region’s stunning living roofs, the old and beautiful traditions of timber construction, the forests… wow. This is my kind of aesthetic. These particular images are from Urnatur of Sweden. Urnatur is a so-called “eco lodge” and retreat, home to these lovely little rustic cottages. Inspirational stuff!

  • I love the lodges, but I must say that I prefer a cedar shingle roof with some moss on it to the living roof.

    That photo of the “foundation” post scared me half to death. I just kept thinking of earthquakes. Of course, I suppose that is not a problem in Scandinavia- except for the thunder of little kids feet across the floor.
