This house is designed to take the beautiful scenery overlooking the ocean but also overcome the climate harsh in Stockholm archipelago.
Summers are light but short and the wind can often be a problem in these coastal areas. This design is put on exploring the border between inside and outside – protected and exposed – building and nature. 1/3 of the built area consists of outdoor areas under roof.
Formed in H-shape, helps creating intimate and wind protected courtyards that prolong the summer season. Equipped with main veranda which fully under roof and an open fireplace keeps temperature up during spring and fall. The social areas have concrete floors and are kept a bit rough. The private bedroom section is elevated from the concrete and less rough with dark wooden floor and interiors. The main materials used are: concrete, rusty steel, untreated pine wood, oiled wenge and water. In this house, materials together with light rather than form gain focus and create atmosphere.
Location : Trosa, Sweden
Architect : Widjedal Racki Bergerhoff
