This is a summer house on the island of Husarö, in the archipelago of Stockholm. The starting point is the direct relation to the dramatic archipelago landscape with the objective to offer within a simple frame – a platform – several diverse [...]

The house was located in the north as far as it can be for a big sunny yard in the south. It looks like it was put inside the thick fence. To make it looks much bigger; this square house is surrounded by a one meter wide balcony. The black concrete used has created the feeling of traditional Korean-style houses.

One goal was to integrate the architecture with the native garden and creek at the bottom of the property. To fully enjoy the reclaimed views, the house is wrapped by exterior decks with glass railings. The inspiration is kiyomizu temple in kyoto, japan, (founded 7th century a.d.) which sits above the landscape and provides panoramic views of the city.

In the spirit of reclaiming value, recycled materials are employed at every possible opportunity. The front facade of the house is comprised of recycled glass blocks, which were provided by the owner as a condition of the commission. the originally monolithic nature of the house is further dematerialized through the use of slats installed as rain screens. This wall assembly seems to dissolve the facade of the house, particularly at corner conditions.
