Style Beach Home Designs as Slick as Bond

Described by architecture firm WRB as a “retro futuristic retreat,” this modern summer house near Stockholm, Sweden is Goldfinger personified in architecture. This luxury beach home is a seasonal cottage designed for socializing and entertaining – how James Bond-esque! A large open concept kitchen and living area, opening through folding doors onto an outdoor terrace, is the hub of this home. The deck is ideal for all-weather entertaining, sheltered by an overhanging roof so your al fresco soirees never get rained out. Inside, the home’s hotspot – pardon the pun – is without a doubt the fireplace. A raised sofa surrounds this freestanding open hearth to create a wonderful little lounge set behind a wall of glass; a large window framing panoramic ocean views. Above the large kitchen, a loft area offers extra accommodations for overnight guests. “Storage, sleeping and washing is packed together tightly to leave maximum space for socializing
