Villa Åkerlund, Private residence in Diplomatstaden, Stockholm, Sweden.

Villa Åkerlund is a two-storey dark red brick residence with a rectangular main block and a lower wing to the right. Six tall brick pilasters rise from a stone base to the top storey, framing recessed window sections with round brick arches above, and a stone balustrade runs along the flat roof edge. Multi-paned windows have green and white striped awnings, and the lower windows sit behind a low stone basement wall topped by a metal fence.

Erik Åkerlund had architect Knut Perno design this villa in 1931 after selling his publishing company Åhlén & Åkerlunds. The United States acquired the property in 1942 and occupied it as their embassy for approximately 13 years.

The villa is also called the American Residence, as it has housed the US ambassador since 1942, when the United States bought it; the embassy moved to Gärdesgatan 2 in 1955 but kept the house as the ambassador's home. The Stockholm City Museum gave it a blue marking, its label for buildings of exceptionally high cultural-historical value.

The residence sits at Nobelgatan 2 in an area accessible by foot from central Stockholm. Since it remains a private property, visitors can view the exterior and grounds from the street, but interior access is not permitted.

The Stockholm City Museum placed a blue marking on the property to recognize its important contribution to Swedish architectural heritage. This designation highlights how the residence exemplifies early 20th century design principles in a diplomatic neighborhood.
