Villa Ranängen, Modernist villa in Djursholm, Sweden

Villa Ranängen features smooth brick walls intersected by floor-to-ceiling glass panels, offering direct access to the garden from each room.

Construction of Villa Ranängen began in 1951 under the direction of architects Léonie and Charles-Edouard Geisendorf, who designed it for a wheelchair user.

The interior design combines the work of Thea Leonard with carpets woven by Ulla Schumacher-Percy, while Silvia Gibson created the garden layout.

The single-story residence spans 200 square meters with four rooms and a kitchen, incorporating step-free access and wide doorways throughout the structure.

A central shallow dome in the living room increases the volume of space while creating visual interest in this mid-century Swedish residence.

Architects: Léonie Geisendorf
