Villagatan – the dream of owning your own home

Air date: 2025-10-30

The first trip goes to Villagatan, where Petra enjoys the idyll of her own home in Enskede. Mark runs into Queen Elizabeth among the small cottages of Norra Ängby, and Gert visits the H55 exhibition in Helsingborg. We also step inside a 1970s catalog house and meet Marie and Bill, the couple with the dream home. And what might the Swedish dream home look like in the future?
