Villa Gumælius, Diplomatic villa in Stockholm, Sweden

Villa Gumælius is a two-story red brick residence on Dag Hammarskjölds väg in Stockholm's Diplomatstaden area. Its hipped roof of glazed tiles covers a rectangular main block with a smaller angled annex on the east side, and the street entrance has four granite columns holding a small porch.

The house was built in 1924 by architect Erik Trana for engineer A. S:son Gumælius as a private home. It later changed ownership and served as premises for the Iranian embassy, and it is now owned by the Hungarian embassy.

Today the building belongs to the Hungarian embassy, and earlier it belonged to the Iranian embassy, which reflects how foreign states use villas in this district as official homes. From the street you can notice that the house functions as part of a diplomatic enclave, with embassy offices and residences sharing the same tree-lined road.

The house is not open to the public, so you can only see it from the street or sidewalk. Walking along Dag Hammarskjölds väg gives the clearest view of the porch and brick facade, and the surrounding neighborhood is safe for pedestrians though security is present.

The original property plan from May 1924 allowed buildings to cover at most one third of the plot and set a minimum gap of six meters from neighboring properties. The first designation was "kv. Diplomaten 6" before being changed later to "7".
