Project Name: Ellery Beach House

Location: Stockholm

Date Completed: August 2020

Architect: ESS Group

Interior Designer: ESS Group

Hotel Group/Developer: ESS Group

Ellery Beach House is new kind of spa resort located in the archipelago outside Stockholm. Designed with a love for the 60’s and 70’s. ESS Group has been creating spas and hotel resorts for almost 15 years. Ellery is their crown jewel, bringing all their experience into this project.

Lidingö is an island where the trees and the water come as close as they can. Ellery Beach House is located at the far end of Lidingö, with pastel colours, wood textures, and design features inspired by the 60s and 70s. The details provide a common thread, and the daring to design the resort so “non-Scandinavian”.

The expansive entrance welcomes guests, and the boules court, open fire and two paddle courts strengthen the vision of a new kind of destination. A large lobby bar replaces the reception. Shuffleboards, table tennis and billiards are mixed with large sofas and beautiful art on the walls. Wood is combined with metal and soft materials with bold colours for a strong yet warm ambience, and the room is filled with furniture and detail.

The design for Ellery’s bars and restaurants is intended to create strong impressions and a lot of Instagram moments. Palmers is the restaurant you set your eyes on first. Soft but with attitude and highest class on all materials. In Bally Bar, which is the reception, the open fire is central to the concept. Down in the club “Coco”, the power is stronger and the expression more sensual.

The three outdoor pools all have a view of the Stockholm archipelago. The main pool boasts a bar that is lowered up and down from the ground once every day. The spacious pool areas are specially designed and integrated with other environments and buildings. In terms of design, ESS Group combined Miami and Florida with all the best from Scandinavia.

ESS Group’s key aspects for Ellery was the strong entrance, detail in design, and their courage dared to believe in their concept. The design works so well because they did not hold back on their vision, where calmness and recreation are combined with partying and a lot of love.
