The Houses in the Blueberry Hill

Bosövägen, Lidingö, Sverige

#Offbeat history #Architecture and design

Locals say blueberries have a calming effect - try it for yourself.

Here lie some student apartments designed by architects Kjell Forshed and Björn Dahlberg in 1999. "Houses should stand right in the blueberry bush!" said both architects when the first sketches were made. The aim was to not damage the existing vegetation but for the houses to appear naturally in their environment. Walk further out towards Sotudden.
