Hygge Cottage— Creating a Warm Welcome

Scandinavian Entry, Minneapolis

This 1920’s lovingly restored log cottage in Hayward, Wisconsin epitomized it’s adopted name Hygge, a word in Danish and Norwegian that describes a mood of coziness and comfort. Inspired by architect Edwin Lundie we designed large corner posts at the entry that greets visitors to this welcoming space while paying homage to Lundie’s deep understanding of rustic Scandinavian design that he artfully executed throughout the upper Midwest.
