Archipelago House, Stockholm archipelago, Sweden
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 readings of the relation space-nature.

Conceived as a light weight construction in wood and glass, this summerhouse
is built in the outer Stockholm archipelago. The horizontal character
of the black stained exterior relates to the verticals of tall grown pines
and the mirrored views of the Baltic Sea.

The geometry of the plan is generated by the specifics of the site, the
house being fitted into the flat surface between two mountain rocks and
turning simultaneously towards the sun in south and frontally towards
the sea in west. With the small rooms placed in the back, the social areas
of the house stand out as an open platform crisscrossed by sliding glass.
The zig-zagged layout also creates a series of outside places sheltered
from the strong winds.
