Swedish Mill House is All About Bathing Rituals

The tiny Mill House in Sweden is an ode to water, simplicity, moderation and… cleanliness.


This masterpiece was created for a family from Malma, in Sweden by the Swedish architectural firm of Wingardhs.

The family relishes the Swedish rituals of bathing and the the sauna, while also appreciating the Japanese Zen master’s approach to finding the simple life.

So Wingardhs  designed the Mill House as a tiny vacation home dominated by the sauna and the attendant spaces for dressing and undressing.

A modest space is devoted to cooking and sleeping. Most of the space is in this pool for the post-sauna dip…

… where a quality of eternal peace and tranquility is the predominant mood.
