Glass and Wooden Summerhouse Design in Stockholm Archipelago

This glass and wooden summerhouse design is located in the Stockholm archipelago. The house is placed on the flat surface between two mountain rocks, and turns simultaneously towards the sun in the South and frontally towards the sea in the West, the house has been lifted from ground level and has interior variable heights. The horizontal character of the black stained exterior relates to the verticals of tall grown pines.

Movement, ambiguous spaces and light. With the small rooms located in the back, the rest of the house stands out as an open platform criss-crossed by panes of sliding glass. The zig-zag layout also offers several outside spaces sheltered from strong winds.

The house is organised in layers, the big rooms expand with an open relationship to the wooden deck. A horizontal wooden trellis diffuses daylight and enhances the character of one continuous space, where the distinction of interior/exterior becomes subordinated. Via Tham & Videgard Arkitekter.
