About this home
Glass gables towards the horizon, a Jacob Jensen kitchen and a Japanese-inspired garden with a pool. A house with character and feeling in Brantevik. In one of Brantevik's most sought-after coastal locations, with unobstructed views over the Baltic Sea, stands a building that clearly makes its own mark on its surroundings. Built by Skanska in the late 1990s with a solid structure of lightweight concrete blocks, the house offers an architectural form with a strong identity and unusual scale. The characteristic glass gables and continuous sightlines create a direct relationship with the sea throughout the house. Large glazed sections in black frames meet corten steel and rendered volumes in warm earth tones — a meeting of the industrial and the organic that makes the house impossible to mistake for anything else. The volumes are generous, and the layout provides scope for both private living and business within the same structure. The property has been used in combination for a period, which opens up the possibility for a buyer to adapt and further develop the house according to their own needs and ambitions. Here there is a clear foundation to build on, whether the intention is a purely residential property or an integrated solution with a business. A business has been run here over the years, and the option of a company acquisition exists. The entrance and kitchen form a central part of the whole. The kitchen is a Jacob Jensen kitchen equipped with Gaggenau appliances, created under the project management of the renowned Ola Silved, where influences from Japanese design recur in both materials and design language. From the dining area you look straight out over the sea through full-height windows — an experience that repeats itself from room to room. The upstairs bedrooms and attic spaces follow the dramatic geometry of the roof, where wood-clad vaults and sculptural panels create a spatial feel all of their own. Several bedrooms have the horizon as their backdrop. The architect-designed garden is laid out with inspiration from Japanese architecture, where levels, waterfalls, paths and materials interact with the house's expression. A landscaped pond with reeds and stone lies directly beside the house and can be enjoyed from several rooms. The pool was built in 2000 and was recently fitted with a new liner in 2025. The house has stood in place for almost three decades and bears the traces of time passed. It is a property for those who see the value in originality and want to put their own stamp on what comes next, with architecture, location and history as the natural starting point.
