Anders Bergstedt Dear reader:
Before entering the brick and stone facade, climb its wooden stairs and cross the door of this mini flat located a short walk from the Skasen Kronan fortress, one of the most tourist spots in Gothenburg, We recommend leaving behind all the conventions on housing, because the habitat we visit today is not like the others. It is not because, keeping intact the charm of the past, it has all the comforts of the present. Why, although it does not have many square meters (44 to be more exact), it is not small and the storage space is not lacking. Because its two rooms can accommodate multiple activities.
The building was built by the architect Hans Hedlund in 1899 to accommodate the families of railroad workers. For decades, its inhabitants were making reforms to adapt their homes to new developments, but without making major modifications to their physiognomy, which earned it a historic building in 2005, with the consequent legal protection.
Upon entering this apartment (available to buy or rent through the Alvhem agency) we find a hall with a large built-in wardrobe and, in front, a full bathroom. On the right we receive a room with a large window and original moldings on the ceiling that has been prepared for use as a living room during the day and as a bedroom at night, with a work corner and a reading corner. Upon leaving, we see the kitchen on the other side of the house with a large table with bench ready to make meetings of friends or family. The white doors of this room hide the appliances and a large pantry with a lot of storage capacity. TEverything in this home has been thought to the millimeter to optimize the spaces and create multifunctional rooms that adapt to the day to day and to the needs of their owners.
