The house was created inside the old brick shell, which is located in a back garden of another property. Its features include a staggered roof and a large skylight that floods the interiors with light. Malmö-based Förstberg Ling inserted a new floor that works with the angular roof. It only extends across part of the property, ensuring that the ground floor receives plenty of light from the skylight above.

The wooden beams of the new floor are left exposed and are offset by a series of neutral finishes like white-washed wood, white-painted walls and concrete floors, which create a backdrop for the family to display its collection of design objects and plants. On the ground floor, the living room features a grey Hai Chair by Nichetto, while a pair of white modular Alphabeta pendant lamps by the same designer hang above the dining table. Behind this, a long kitchen counter in a deep green hue stretches the length of one wall, with a pantry, bathroom and the entrance on one side.

A concrete staircase leads to the upper level, where wooden boards provide flooring. Here, a small study is set in an alcove alongside two bedrooms, with furnishings including a splattered stool by Max Lamb. A set of steps from the master bedroom lead to the second bathroom.
