Husdrömmar

Join Petra and Olliver as they transform an old 400 square meter school into their dream home. They throw themselves over everything from floor to ceiling and create a colorful home. Olliver, who has a penchant for inventions, designs, among other things, a unique toilet paper holder. Their sense of quality even impresses Gert! But the high standard comes with a cost.

Peter loves the Swedish mountains, with the silence and the stillness. There he has decided to go "all in" and build a log house for himself and his little dog Berit all by himself. Farthest at the end of the road in western Härjedalen. It simply cannot get any quieter than this. Now all that remains is to finish construction during the few months when there is no snow in Ljungdalen.

In this year's premiere, we return to some of our former house dreamers who continue their building adventures. Torkel and Ayla in Onsala face the challenge of completing their wooden pool - but will it really handle 30 tons of water? Amber and Uffe, who we remember from the old eternit house in Västra Klappe, never seem to run out of new projects. And in Raby we see Negin again, who is now ready to take a bigger hold on his charming general store.

Anna and Joakim gladly does the opposite. When they started to look for a house on Tjörn eight years ago they first and foremost looked for a garden as they are both gardeners. Now that both the garden and the family have outgrown their small cottage on the lot they want to build a large and nice house, but it has to be completely adapted to the garden. How do you do that?

When a 103-year-old relative decides to give away their inheritance in advance, Simon and Therése suddenly have the opportunity to build their dream house in Trångsund outside Stockholm. It is a hilly and steep plot but instead of blasting away the bedrock they decide to build with nature and let the mountain dictate what the house will look like.

When they move in, at least 40 people will be living together in Malmö. But before that can happen they have to renovate what once was a mental hospital into a collective house. The idea is that it will be a home where the community spirit is central, but where the individual also can take place. There are plenty of ideas, but how will it turn out and will they be able to agree when nearly 3000 sqm are under construction?

Vici and Peter long for the simple life. They are building their allotment house with a walking distance between their apartment and the preschool at Hisingen. They decide to do the exact opposite of what Gert says you shouldn't do with the construction of the house. Because you have to challenge yourself. And who cheap can you actually build using reclaimed building material?

Kim and Erik dream big. Together with Kim's sister and her husband and three children they have bought an old family farm in Dalarna consisting of 13 buildings in various sizes. Of all the houses, Kim and Erik decide to make the stable into their home. Part of the building can be saved, but how do you join together old and new parts and how easy is it actually to start up a modern family farm?

We meet former participants who are now finally finished with their projects. Or are they? And how are they, now that the house project is finished? Is everything working as it should in Erik and Laura's round straw bale house in Umeå? How many tomatoes is there room for in Johan and Sylvia's nature house in Lerum? And have Mea and Bruno in Fyledalen finally moved into their small little house on the farm?

Husdrömmar celebrates 10 years and throws a big celebration party with flashbacks and revisits to some of the most memorable house projects and particpants from previous seasons. We also follow Jette's continued journey with Villa Solbacken, a house she saved from being demolished in Sundsvall and had it moved all the way to Blekinge. Now Jette is aiming to complete the project and also open a café in the villa.

For Björn and Görill moving to Söderslätt is not only a way to escape the rainy Bergen, but also a new chapter in life after their last house dream was crushed by a tragic accident. But before they even start building Gert turns their plans upside down.

Sylvia and Johan want to live a more active life in relation to nature, and they want their nature house to not only be stylish but also help them and their three small children in their everyday leisure activities. The house should also help nature, be built of natural materials and be a climate-smart dwelling. But it doesn’t matter how well prepared they are, they didn’t count on that nature can retaliate, in more ways than one.

When the octagonal manor Södra Björnstorp burns down the whole community grieve the loss of the unique building. Only the outer walls from the 18th century remain and it is uncertain if the house can be rebuilt. But for Tuula and her children there is no alternative! But is it possible to recreate this historic 18th century building now, 300 years later?

Anne Marit and Frode from Oslo have madly fallen in love with Värmland - and have grand plans for what is to become their new hytte by the glimmering lake. With the help of a famous architect from Norway, the dream is not only to build a cabin but maybe the most beautiful house in Värmland?

By Helge å, outside Åhus, the restaurateur Gustav thinks he has made a real find - an abandoned starch factory, in total decay! With a starting point of no walls, floors or roof, this old factory ruin and the adjoining tied cottage is going to become Gustav’s dream home - and a meeting spot out in the open.

We revisit Linus and Karin in Stenungsund who now are impatient to remove the old house that blocks the view from the new dream villa. But does the house actually have to be torn down or could it be moved and get a new life? The house of the future in Östersund and the mountain cube in Västra Frölunda are also revisited and then there’s Andrea and Jonathans mobile tiny house, where is it now..?

Pernilla has lived all over the world with no steady home but now she seeks more peace and quiet for herself. In an old brick house in Österlen she wants to create a meeting spot for family and friends - and all the different rooms in the house are being renovated with a specific inspiration from places she has visited all over the world. How will her dreams and ambitions come to together in the house? Will she find the peace and quiet she is looking for?

Daniel and Jeanette have found the perfect nature plot not too far from Gothenburg and here they want to build a tasteful low-key house for their family. But how does a newly built house fit seamlessly into nature that has been evolving for thousands of years? This turns out to be much more tricky than they imagined.

Casper and Elin, both 23 years old, have bought an abandoned old school house in the village of Billesholm. It’s a run down house that they want to turn into their palace, but the money is tight and neither of them have even owned a house before. Instead they have to learn everything about renovating a house - DIY style.

Exactly 100 years ago the chapel in Strömsberg was built, and now it’s being sold by the Swedish church. The buyers are Josefin and Ilias, who want to turn it into their summer house. The run down chapel will now be transformed from a church to a cosy family home, if that is even possible?

On a beautiful spot by a forest lake, Jon and Jenny are tearing down their current house to make room for their grand dream house that Jenny has drawn on her own during maternity leave. However, it looks more like a child’s drawing if you ask Gert Wingårdh! But Jon and Jenny are not giving up, how hard can it really be to draw and build a house?

Revisiting the container house in Tranås, since last time it has been camouflaged to match the surrounding forest! We also revisit the small fire station in Österlen that now has grown out if its original shell and Anne gets bad news from Amber and Uffe who participated last season. And finally, Gert and Karin Wingårdh have finished their new built barn house on their farm in Äggdal.

Tommy is a carpenter and Frederica is working with interior design. Together, they have already built their dream house. But now they do it again. And this time it will be even bigger, even more luxurious, even more Hollywood. An archipelago south of Gothenburg, 600 square meters and 10 rooms, where the children each receive a luxury room, which later can be converted into apartments. But how do you create a new dream home when you already built one? And you can really get a soul in such a big house?
