Engineer Gunnar Way-Matthiesen designed the house, which was built in 1904–05. Matthiesen traveled throughout Europe to find inspiration for what were, at the time, new single-family residential areas. The goal was to achieve an affordable overall effect—a desirable harmony between the layout and the buildings. At that time, Matthiesen ran his own firm specializing in the planning of single-family housing developments and villa communities. As a contractor, he helped develop the new Solhem neighborhood in Spånga, which had a similar profile to Storängen. Both neighborhoods were developed starting in 1904 and continuing thereafter.
The Storängen villa community in Nacka was founded in 1904 through a private initiative and was inhabited at that time by a small, privileged group. In 1904, a group of civil servants formed the Civil Servants’ Homeowners’ Association in Järla. The name Storängen was officially adopted in 1905. The land was owned by the Stockholm-Saltsjön Railway Company. The company made an area comprising 77 lots available to the association. The land was to be purchased plot by plot directly from the company, but only association members had the right to buy. Anyone could apply for membership in the association, but membership was granted only if the applicant was deemed to be a good fit for the community. As a result, the community developed a very special character and a distinctive homogeneity. This association, which has now celebrated its 100th anniversary, remains very active and owns, for example, the community’s tennis court and surrounding park, the beautiful former school building, and a generously sized playground and gathering area called “Ängen.” The association also owns a dock on Lake Järla.
Most of the single-family homes were architect-designed, commissioned directly by the respective developers. In the 1940s, many lots were subdivided, and new single-family homes were built in the functionalist style.
Among the first residents of Storängen were many lawyers, a couple of professors, several executives, a few engineers, an architect, a traveling salesman, a journalist, and an insurance agent, to name just a few of the professions represented. The area soon attracted a number of artists, such as Richard Bergh, Georg and Anna Pauli, the sculptor John Börjesson, and the artists Anton Genberg, Gottfrid Kallstenius, Gerda Roosvall-Kallstenius, and Roland Svensson. The artists’ homes differ in layout from the other villas in that they feature large studios facing north.
Thanks to the local homeowners’ association, the property owners jointly own a park with a tennis court and basketball hoops, a large meadow where Walpurgis Night celebrations are held, and a school building that currently houses a Montessori school, which also serves as a venue for parties and activities. There are also other associations that bring the residents of Storäng together. The tennis club leases out the tennis court, but a certain quota is reserved for members of the Egnahem Association. There is a volunteer fire department responsible for the Walpurgis Night bonfire on the meadow, as well as several Facebook groups for residents. If you move to Storängen, you can—if you wish—become part of a community that fosters a sense of well-being and belonging for both children and adults.
