In this region, summer is all about retreating to a countryside timber dwelling. Here are some of the best, from a mid-Century home to a modern cabin overlooking the ocean.
No 1 looks like an old cottage that someone ruined with by putting in modern windows and doors.
No 6 looks fairly normal, yes, it is from the 70s, but that means that it works well with modern windows and doors, it looks definitely the most like a normal summer home in Sweden.
EDIT:
The rest are just weird architectural statement pieces on the theme of a summer home.
Not to say that they all look bad, some looks great, but most looks kinda overdone
If anyone (non-nordic) want to see how normal summer cabins look. Just do a search for “Swedish sommarstuga” or “Norwegian hytte”. Swedish summer cabins along the west coast is usually white or brown. The inlands cabins usually sport a traditional red color with white detailing. Called “faluröd”.
The pictured houses don’t really represent my experience of nordic mökkis… But maybe my family and friends are just poor.
No 1 looks like a typical cabin. The rest looks like rich peoples modern interpretation of cabin

Here in Norway, at least, the hytte is more and more something that exists mainly for the upper middle class and up.
