Floor Plan
This small summerhouse at the coast of Höganäs was modeled after Palladios famous villas in the Veneto. Different from those extraordinary estates, this house is all about spatial economy. The goal was to create a maximum amount of spatial subdivisions in a building whose size was limited by budget constraints. With Palladios villas it shares the intriguing quality of the cross shaped space and the idea of summer life as an utterly joyful experience.

This residence is a round shaped fair face concrete building, with a semi detached rectangle entrance. The long narrow windows following the form of the structure look out to the wrapped back yard with the timber floors and semicircle swimming pool.

Sometimes a client’s request may lead into a new concept that you might never have thought before. That’s what happened at that project. At my first meeting with the client, he asked me whether he could have a “round house”. My first reaction was: “But… my work is a bit different of what you ask…”. I had second thoughts though, so I decided I would do it, under one condition: I would do it in my own way!

Indeed, space experience in unique. The house has a natural flow, it is spacious and structure is characterized by total simplicity. The plot is in a busy road, so the semicircle acts like a natural road boundary. Internal, everything is rotated around the semicircle pool that acts as a referee point of the whole project, as it can be seen by every spot in the house. By that semicircular volume, underhungs a wooden one, where the office is. By that way the visual view of the circle is interrupted.
