DRAGSPELHUSET

GLASKOGEN NATURE RESERVE – SWEDEN

The owners, the Dutch people discovered the classified ad of the hut on the edges of the lake Ovre Gla, accidentally, during holidays in Sweden. They were seduced at once by the site and decided to make their house of holidays.  They are architects, the house was inspired by their theme "Art Deco", meaning that ecological architecture maybe contemporary and magnificent.

The Dragspelhuset is made of wood, most of the wood result from surrounding forests, the outside parts were the only imported from Canada.

They built it entirely by themselves with the help of many handymen friends.

When they spend  their holidays in Sweden, they live essentially outside, they sail, they do water-skiing and bathe in the lake. Beyond, their bathroom is in the outside of the house, near the brook with a big wooden bathtub warmed by a poele with wood.

There is no electricity, just solar panels which allow to obtain 12 volts to warm the bedroom, for the rest, they use candles.

There is either no tap water, they provide themselves in drinking water at the neighbours and use natural WC.
