- Summary
- Inspired by the storybook home of the beloved Scandinavian artist Carl Larsson, Wisconsin native Loran Nordgren realized a dream of twenty years: the building of a magnificent home in an idyllic, rural corner of the state. It is a glorious place--of soaring ceilings and intimate rooms, of open views from room to room, of viewing lofts and internal balconies--where a family can gather, share good times, and also find solace and solitude. A virtual village, the Nordgren compound includes a main house, family cottage, and a storehouse clustered around a central courtyard. The dazzling photographs of the Nordgren home reveal its influences: the clean lines and colors of Scandinavian interiors. Nordgren commissioned award-winning designer Lou Heiser to build the house. This unique home deftly melds such traditional elements as built-in beds, carved exterior decorations, cedar closets, and a sod roof, with such 20th-century conveniences as exterior trim specially treated to stand up to the elements, sophisticated lighting, and the latest appliances and fixtures. The Nordgren home shares many of the particular pleasures of the traditional Swedish home. Here one finds the Celestial Room, a room emblazoned with a starry ceiling, tiled Swedish stoves throughout the house, and a family room that flows directly into the kitchen. And then there are the colors: the pale cool Gustavian color palette, with blues and greens in the main house, and cheerful primary tones in the cottage. The story of how a dream became a reality, The Scandinavian Look prodigiously details every aspect of the creative process, from idea to design and construction. This book can serve as a guide for those who are thinking of building their own dream house; if your goals are more modest, and you'd like to know how to choose a color palette or how to do decorative painting, there is a wealth of information to be found here
