Bunker Style Houses - Eco Friendly House in Stockholm

Stockholm based architecture firm RB Arkitektur designed this modern Swedish villa, a bunker style house, in its home town. Set on a gently sloping hillside, Villa UH1 is modeled on a WWII-era German bunker, and designed with all the contemporary comforts of home, and the added benefits of an eco house design. This contemporary residence is partially built underground, blending with its grassy surroundings and topped by an eco-friendly, moss-covered roof. Additional built-in sustainable systems include geothermal technology as an alternative energy source. That said, this modern Swedish villa has great aesthetic appeal, from its simple, sleek architectural accents inside, to its minimalist white palette and modern yet earthy finishes. The great shape of this house dictates its unusually shaped and placed windows, which flood interiors with lots of natural light – one more eco-friendly feature. Complemented with chic, sleek furnishings, this house is a Swedish dream home indeed.
