Outbuilding of the Week: Black and White Orangery, Scandi Style

I have a soft spot for spaces covered in windows and filled with plants; in a perfect world, I’d live in a home that closely resembles a greenhouse, with lots of light and lots of green. Swedish designer and entrepreneur Agneta Enzell designed a space for her and her family that fits the bill exactly. The orangery, as she calls it, is drenched in light. She uses it, fittingly, for growing plants, almost like a potting shed, but also as a place to eat and socialize with friends and family.

Above: The space is perfect in fall when it often gets too cold to sit outside in the evenings; it the family to extend their summer season a bit, as the windows and plants make it feel almost as if you’re outside.
