Villa Markelius, Nockeby, Modernist residential building in Nockeby, Sweden

The Villa Markelius features clean lines, smooth white walls, long horizontal windows, and flat roofs combined with cubic and semicylindrical volumes.

Between 1930 and 1938, architect Sven Markelius designed and inhabited this private residence at Grönviksvägen 133 in western Stockholm's Bromma district.

The dining table of Villa Markelius became a central gathering point for discussions about Swedish social welfare development in the 1930s.

The building structure incorporates reinforced concrete with cork insulation on the interior walls, demonstrating advanced construction techniques for its time.

The architectural plans included an innovative kitchen design that Markelius developed while heading the drawing office for building joinery at the Standardization Commission.
