Villa Sturegården is arguably the first completed project (1913) by architect Gunnar Asplund. It is a residential house located in the city of Nyköping, some 100 km south of Stockholm. The home was built for local bank manager Oscar Wichman. Wichman describes the project in his autobiographic Krönika (Chronicle): “A southward facing plot permitting an omni-directional view, located at the onset of Rosenkällavägen, caught our interest. The town offered it to us at a price of SEK 2:50 per square meter which included water and drainage drawn to the plot limits. The low price was motivated by the fact that I would be the first one to develop the property, acquired by the town from Rosenkälla estate. By recommendations from professor Ivar Tengbom I was put in contact with architect E G Asplund
