“We kept the beams, the floor and the smell of old limestone. Everything else we built for sleeping well.”
The house was built in 1742 for a merchant who shipped Gotland lime across the Baltic. It was a warehouse, then a print shop, then empty for thirty years.
We restored it with island craftspeople between 2019 and 2022: lime plaster, oak from Gotland, linen woven in Sweden. There are no two rooms alike, because no two walls were alike.
