Nice Graphic Design in Black and White Swedish Cottage for an Artist

The biggest part of this black and white cottage at the resort location at Ingarö-Evlinge, in Sweden, is dug into the slope at the far border of the property, creating a large horizontal platform at ground level to its side.

The Casa Barone was designed by Widjedal Racki Bergerhoff for a young Italian painter and his Swedish wife with a studio space that enabled the homeowner to work inspired by the lovely surroundings.

One of the more intriguing aspects is that the bath (to the left) overlooks the living room.

As can be seen in the plan, this means the view out over the water can be shared by the bather.

This sofa occupies the corner of the living room overseen by the bather behind the wall.

A skylight above the bath similarly connects the bather with the sky above.

The glossy black wooden floors with the contrasting softness and shelter of the soft and white cushioned sofas are a delight.

While the waterside cottage houses just the painter and his wife, there is ample entertaining space for dinner guests.

These glossy black wooden floors throughout the ultra-modern Casa Barone anchor the home into the view.

Upstairs too, warmed by a fire, the bedroom shares the same glossy black painted floor as downstairs.

The view as you descend from the bedroom via the central stair, creating a a super-narrow tall void that beautifully slices the white space.

There had been an existing home on the property, but it sat in the middle of the property leaving only unusable narrow and highly sloping ground around it.

By digging in next to the site of the existing flat foundation of the old house, a new exterior flat space was created.
