Stockholm-based Sommarnöjen has unveiled designs for five new 160 sq-foot second houses that are mostly beautiful looking structures. I'd love to own a sweet little place like this that I could just drift off to whenever I wanted, or to even live in permanently. Mm.

The designs for Sommarnöjen houses come from Sweden's top-tier architectural offices Kjellander + Sjöberg Arkitektkontor, Sandellsandberg Arkitekter and Tham & Videgård Hansson Arkitekter.

Maybe... one day.

Sweet. Did they mention any price for those boxes?

Matt Coxcoxy # Wednesday, May 27, 2009 11:00:11 AM

I can't see a price anywhere. Maybe it's best I don't find out - it may shatter my dreams.

Haha, true. But then, you get more in Sweden for the same amount of money than you get in Norway. However, since the cabins are marked with "designer product" all over them, I wouldn't be surprised if the price would be higher than it should be.

There's even room for a 3m satellite dish on the roof =o}

53north, if I lived in one of those spaces, I wouldn't want / need a satellite dish.

In fact, my tv ariel at home is unplugged and hasn't had signal in ages. TV is teh suck.

You'd want a satellite dish to get the best possible signal for your Internet connection though.

Damn you, amith. I think you'd be right.

...nobody robbing such isolated houses ?
then: the policy in nortern countries is: don't touch a car
That means prices are huge and probably there are other taxes too
how would you go to your home then ?
may be if they are built along the train rails

amnith It's your dyslexic brother.

ste-ven I guess if I lived in one of these houses in the middle of knowhere, I'd own a bike, maybe a moped and use that to get around.

Alternatively, I'd just become a hermit and live of berries and wild animals that I find in the nearby area. Yum!

Why use Ask for defining a hermit and not Wiktionary?

Matt Coxcoxy # Wednesday, May 27, 2009 11:22:07 PM

I don't know why, but I'm not a fan of Wikitionary... that said, I'm not a fan of Ask either - but I'm giving it a try.

I'd probably have linked to dictionary.com for definitions - but that's owned by IAC Search & Media too.

Robert Jacobsenrobertj # Wednesday, May 27, 2009 11:35:24 PM

I have a custom search for Wiktionary, so I just wt word, mark the url and smack it in. Easy as pie.

Matt Coxcoxy # Wednesday, May 27, 2009 11:50:02 PM

I have a system whereby I double-click a word (which selects it and brings up Opera's context menu) and then clicking 'Dictionary'.

Robert Jacobsenrobertj # Thursday, May 28, 2009 12:27:08 AM

That works too, but sending it to Ask just doesn't seem right. There should be better dictionaries out there.
