May 31 marks the day when Scandic Landvetter opens its doors to both far-flung guests and West Coast residents on the go. With 223 rooms directly adjacent to the terminal building, Scandic Landvetter satisfies Gothenburg s pressing need for an international airport hotel designed for people to meet. In this way, Scandic Landvetter is an important building block in the rapidly expanding airport city at Göteborg Landvetter Airport.
Just a few steps into the modernized terminal building is the entrance to Scandic Landvetter where travelers are welcomed to a vibrant hotel designed by Wingårdhs architect firm. The entire facade, which features 1,308 flags punched into aluminum sheeting, creates an international feeling and the top floor of the hotel includes a gym and relaxation area with a panoramic view of the runway. The international atmosphere continues throughout the hotel, not least in the unique work of art in the lobby - an airplane win

Having a summer house is close to obligatory in Sweden. But with prices now sky-high anywhere near the big cities, it s out of many people s reach. So our reporter Richard Orange s Swedish wife Mia decided to build one herself, and he reluctantly agreed. Here s what happened.
It took me about four years to work out what was going on. My Swedish wife kept sending me links to housing auctions featuring enormous tumble-down renovation projects in Värmland, abandoned farmhouses in Småland, or cabins in the wilds of northern Skåne.
At first, I thought she was fantasizing about abandoning our life in Malmö to grow our own vegetables and keep goats. I’d humour her, say a few encouraging things about the houses, then immediately forget about it.
