LIVING ROOM

This three-bedroom apartment is one of five created during the conversion of a 1910 waterside villa on the island of Lidingö. At more than 1,000 square metres, there was plenty of space for the grand residence to be divided into more manageable modern homes while retaining the features that make it unique.

On skinny legs, the furniture in this room seems to float above the floor, bringing a sense of weightlessness to the lofty space.

LIBRARY

The pink rug brings a shot of vibrancy to the otherwise monochromatic palette.
