A house with two angles
The architecture of the house bears many similarities to a traditional “skånelänga,” a long, narrow building typical of the region. This reference provided a natural starting point, but used as a springboard rather than a blueprint. The house follows the stepped terrain, described as a"harmonizing link", sitting lightly in the landscape and helping bridge the differing orientations of surrounding buildings. With its plastered stone construction paired with a Rheinzink roof—the project echoes the tones and materials of this historically protected area.
The main materials defining the interior are warm Swedish pine combined with stone in the form of Norwegian slate and Bohuslän granite. The materials were chosen locally for their durability and low environmental impact. Significant time was spent developing a special finish for the wood, creating a soft, milky tone using a mix of oil-based pigments and lye.
