Tomtehuset, Residential building in Vasastaden, Gothenburg, Sweden.
The two-story brick structure combines plastered surfaces with decorative fresco paintings around the windows on both floors of the facade.
Constructed in 1890 for publicist Sven Adolf Hedlund, architects Hans Hedlund and Yngve Rasmussen designed this building at the intersection of Viktoriagatan and Vasagatan.
The second floor wall paintings depict the original inhabitants through illustrations of professionals such as architects, printers, and photographers in their daily activities.
The upper floor, which previously housed a photo studio, was converted into residential space during the 1920s, including modifications to windows and ceiling.
The building features wall paintings signed by the architects and Thorvald Rasmussen, who specialized in decorative gnome art and created detailed murals dated October 1890.
