Prefabricated architectural concept by architect Emelie Holmberg. I photographed the first made situated in unspoiled woodlands on the island of Väddö, Sweden.

It grew out of a realization of changing living and working patterns partly precipitated by the pandemic. Pre-Covid, Emelie had dreamt of a more flexible lifestyle facilitated by technology, allowing her to work remotely wherever she chose, so long as she had internet access.

This partly sparked the idea for Gimme Shelter, which began life as a concept for her own self-build, low-cost home. The project comprises two structures. One measures 32 sq m and contains a living room, kitchen, and bathroom; the other occupies 10sq m and houses a bedroom.

RIVERTON HOTEL
RIVERTON HOTEL

BY JAMES SILVERMAN PHOTOGRAPHY

Nestled along the picturesque Gothenburg harbor, the Riverton Hotel is more than a place to stay; it’s a symphony of Scandinavian elegance and contemporary luxury, brought to life by the inspired hand of Montecinos Franjola Design. With its seamless blend of warm textures, refined furnishings, and a sense of space that invites both calm and curiosity, the Riverton feels like an invitation to linger. The photography was commissioned by DESYT, a master of Scandinavian-inspired textile flooring that transforms any surface into a canvas of understated luxury.  Custom-designed carpets grace the rooms, sky bar, and shared spaces, further enhancing the cohesive narrative of design. The Riverton is a narrative of design, told in soft hues and tactile sophistication.
