Vintra, Villa in Stockholm Municipality, Sweden

Vintra was Ferdinand Boberg's home at Djurgårdsvägen 158, built in 1903 between two 18th-century wings. Its centre was a two-storey allrum with a five-metre vaulted ceiling, lit by one large north-facing skylight and heated by a large open fireplace. The low ground floor held the hall, kitchen, dining room and maid's room.

Ferdinand Boberg constructed the building in 1903 between two existing 18th-century wings, incorporating elements from an earlier manor that had belonged to a Russian businessman. In the decades that followed, a subsequent owner renamed the property and removed substantial portions of Boberg's original design.

The residence housed the working spaces of both an architect and an artist who lived here together, each with their own dedicated rooms. This arrangement shows how creative couples of that era organized their professional and domestic lives side by side.

The building can be viewed from the outside and is located in a quiet, residential area that is easy to reach by bicycle or on foot. Best visited during daylight hours to appreciate the architectural details and the skylight system fully.

Only about one metre of the east wall survives from Boberg's Vintra. When Ebba Pauli-Rappe bought the house in 1927, she had everything the Bobergs had created torn out to give it an older look and renamed it Villa Lindarna. She lived there until 1947, and her heirs kept it afterwards.
