Steal This Look: A Scandi Style Living Room in a Passive House

In this longhouse-style passive energy property designed by architects Maria Ibañez de Sendadiano and Todd Rouhe, the living room is a composed and gentle space in the center of the house. The minimalist, Scandinavian-influenced design is made up of Danish companies such as Vipp, Skagerak, and Hay. Here is our list of sources to re-create the look.
