Working with petite dimensions? There are innovative small-space lessons to learn from Bergaliv Landscape Hotel, a pair of postage-stamp-sized lofts perched on a mountain in Sweden and designed by the Swedish firm Fria Folket.
Let’s take a look inside each one.

The Loft House
Above: The first of the structures, the Loft House, is tucked into a grove and surrounded by trees. Above: Inside is a built-in lounge area. The dwelling is equipped with heat, electricity, running water, and sweeping views. Above: Just alongside is a no-frills sink setup. Above: With space at a premium, architect Hanna Michelson of Fria Folket designed most everything to be hung, rolled, or tacked up on the walls when not in use. Case in point: two sets of duvets and sheets, which unfurl to become a sleeping nook. Above: An off-grid (but no less stylish) washbasin. Above: At night, the space transforms into a sleeping area, with linen sheets atop thick mattress rolls. (For something similar, see 7 Favorites: Soft, Stylish Throwbeds (Starting at $50).) Above: Breakfast in the morning includes locally baked bread. Above: A perch with a view.
The South Loft
Above: The South Loft. Above: In the main area, a low platform transforms into the sleeping area. Note the clever chair storage, too—an even more minimal version of Shaker style. Above: The petite kitchenette has a wall-mounted tap. Above: The view from the loft. Above: Another sleeping area is upstairs. Above: Lights can be ported around from space to space as needed.
