Scandi buildings: strong lines, minimalist aesthetic, with an emphasis on natural light, the use of natural materials and colours
Homes should have plenty of natural textures, soft lighting and cozy nooks. The common thread that unites Scandinavian architecture is the awareness of energy consumption and the use of simple, clean lines in building design.
Scandi buildings are distinguished by thoughtful and sustainable design, which includes the use of innovative technologies. An important parameter is the provision of buildings with natural light due to harsh climatic conditions.

Many buildings in farming lands or fishing areas, where incomes were lower than average
were mostly paint in red.
