The pictured houses don't really represent my experience of nordic mökkis... But maybe my family and friends are just poor.

No 1 looks like a typical cabin. The rest looks like rich peoples modern interpretation of cabin

No 1 looks like an old cottage that someone ruined with by putting in modern windows and doors.
No 6 looks fairly normal, yes, it is from the 70s, but that means that it works well with modern windows and doors, it looks definitely the most like a normal summer home in Sweden.
EDIT:
The rest are just weird architectural statement pieces on the theme of a summer home.
Not to say that they all look bad, some looks great, but most looks kinda overdone

If anyone (non-nordic) want to see how normal summer cabins look. Just do a search for "Swedish sommarstuga" or "Norwegian hytte". Swedish summer cabins along the west coast is usually white or brown. The inlands cabins usually sport a traditional red color with white detailing. Called "faluröd".

Here in Norway, at least, the hytte is more and more something that exists mainly for the upper middle class and up.
