Villa Midgård by Stockholm-based studio DAPstockholm is a stunning contemporary home that shows how an amazing idea can be enjoyed by an open-minded family. The striking part about this project for me was the impressive see-through pool. Located in Stockholm, Sweden, the beautiful residential project completed in 2011 has a maintenance‐free facade and is located in a secluded area, making it easy to relax surrounded by the natural landscape..

Having three levels, the contemporary home ensures that there is enough space for all necessary amenities that will offer the inhabitants the modern lifestyle they require. The master bedroom benefits from morning sun, while the rest of the house is also strongly connected to the outside through extensive use of glass. The multi‐faceted home – seven facades in all – the terrain, views and privacy issues were addressed by the architects in a very inspiring way, resulting in a fantastic modern retreat from stressful life.
