Designed by the Swedish architect Ivar Tengbom and completed in 1910, the dark-brick Jugendstil mansion on Sköldungagatan in Stockholm's Östermalm district was built as a private residence — and that domestic origin is precisely what makes Ett Hem so difficult to categorise. Ilse Crawford and her studio Studioilse converted the property in 2012, holding the logic of a family home so firmly at the centre of every decision that the twelve-room hotel has never quite felt like a hotel at all. The copper-trimmed gables, steep slate roof, and arched entrance gate visible from the street give little away. Inside, Crawford's approach folds a century of Scandinavian decorative culture into something that feels accumulated rather than curated. The drawing room is anchored by a monumental glazed faience stove, Hans Wegner Papa Bear chairs pulled close to green velvet club armchairs on herringbone oak floors, the whole space opening through panelled doorways into a book-lined dining room where terracotta leather chairs gather beneath pendant brass globes. Bedrooms move between moods — one arranged around a darkened steel four-poster with taupe linen curtains filtering northern light, another under a Murano glass chandelier with a PH lamp on the writing desk. The walled garden behind, with its Victorian glasshouse and gravel courtyard strung with Edison bulbs, completes the sense that someone has simply lent you their house for the week.
