Cottage Style Design – Ideas & Pictures of Rustic Luxuries

January 6th, 2010 |

Located on the Sweden’s Stockholm Archipelago, Island House by WRB Architects is a cool coastal home designed to complement its wonderful waterfront setting. This rustic vacation home boasts a distinct cottage style design characterized by panoramic views of the ocean from outdoor living spaces and glass-enclosed interiors alike. The cozy, comfortable style of the home lends itself to socializing in groups and relaxing alone. A sheltered wood deck allows for all-weather outdoor entertaining, while the house also invites nature in through the extensive use of natural wood to finish floors, walls and ceilings. The main house opens onto the ocean, while the bedrooms and bath are more private, facing a secluded courtyard outlined by old oaks and rocks. A sauna wraps up the amenities and necessities of this modern waterfront cottage home. WRB.
