Soulsurfer Posted October 7, 2004 Report Share Posted October 7, 2004 I've checked out this apartment -- what do you think of it, according to your own estethic standards? (It is located in Stockholm, Sweden.) Should I buy it or not? http://www.lagerlings.se/showImages.asp?id=477 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oakes Posted October 7, 2004 Report Share Posted October 7, 2004 It has a very clean, modern look...I'd live in it any day, if it wasn't as expensive as it looks like it is. Some things were just alien to me (in a good way), like the slanted ceilings, those long overhead lights, and that "enshrined" bathtub. Is that last picture a swimming pool? And what is this room?

Areactor Posted October 7, 2004 Report Share Posted October 7, 2004 Are you kidding? If I had the money I'd buy it in a heartbeat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iouswuoibev Posted October 8, 2004 Report Share Posted October 8, 2004 It looks superb. Only problem is the location! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meganfiala Posted October 8, 2004 Report Share Posted October 8, 2004 Beautiful! But the pool kinda looked creepy, kinda like a horror film. Otherwise, I'd move there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quantum Mechanic Posted October 8, 2004 Report Share Posted October 8, 2004 Except for that hideous thing over the dining room table, it looks superb. Congrats mate! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidOdden Posted October 8, 2004 Report Share Posted October 8, 2004 No, if you were to use my standards, you wouldn't buy it. The closest I could come was Karlavägens Solsida, but the furnishings were horrid (lose the chandelier and the wallpaper); so I'm just talking about the physical structure. It looks nice and really architypically modern Swedish, but it's not me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AwakeAndFree Posted October 8, 2004 Report Share Posted October 8, 2004 If you can lose the fake oriental/african influences, like the chandelier, I would definitely go for it. I love the clean lines, the space, the light - there is an exactness that I like about this house. It's like living in a big, fun, laboratory!

Thales Posted October 8, 2004 Report Share Posted October 8, 2004 Brilliantly done, but likely very costly! It looks very spacious, thought that's very hard to tell with photographs. The kitchen looks very functional and efficient, with plenty of counter space. In fact, it looks efficient and functional from top to bottom. Except the spiral stair case. They may look nice, but they are a real pain in practice. Getting furniture up and down is not easy. The art decor definitely has to be changed. It contrasts and takes away from the modern look. Perhaps some paintings of moon launches, and the like would fit better. With a few changes, and if the price were right (doubtful), I'd strongly consider it. What else is on the market?

jfortun Posted October 8, 2004 Report Share Posted October 8, 2004 Beautiful. I could do without the Indian touches but the rest of it is quite amazing. I really like the wall to wall pool and the lone tub. I'd buy and add it bit of color with furnishings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soulsurfer Posted October 11, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2004 Thanks for all your comments, I really appreciate them. However, since my wife didn't like it (she thought the poolroom was creepy, and the pool is very important to both of us -- it has to be sunlit), we'll go for something else on the market (still looking). Then, of course, the art decoration in that house was absolutely terrible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Socionomer Posted October 11, 2004 Report Share Posted October 11, 2004 I would have them fix that leaky faucet first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

source Posted October 13, 2004 Report Share Posted October 13, 2004 I've checked out this apartment -- what do you think of it, according to your own estethic standards? (It is located in Stockholm, Sweden.) Should I buy it or not? http://www.lagerlings.se/showImages.asp?id=477 I'd buy it. I'd change some things, though. For example, I couldn't have lunch knowing that there's a black monstrosity of a chandelier hanging over my head. And those things with eastern culture ornaments and icons would be second to leave the apartment (in a garbage truck most likely, unless someone offers a ridiculously high price for them on e-bay).
