An Industrial Building in a Charming Courtyard is Turned into a Small Townhouse

In the middle of the Swedish city of Gothenburg lies a charming courtyard with beautiful, restored 19th-century buildings. And in one of these buildings, you can find today’s home, a small loft-style townhouse with modern interiors and a charming patio terrace.

The industrial building was formerly used as a brewery and for warehouse storage, but in 2017, it was converted into beautiful modern homes, featuring carefully selected materials and a stylish design that harmonizes with the picturesque courtyard.

The front door and a glass door in the living space open onto the private patio terrace in the courtyard. A charming space with a social character.

This house has a townhouse feel despite having a floorplan of only 48 square meters. Perfect for singles and couples that don’t want to live in an apartment.

The house has an open-plan living space with large windows set in deep, arched niches, with natural stone sills. It brings a lot of natural light to the living space and a connection to the patio and the characteristic courtyard.
