Summer time love Sweden

The Summer house at Lagnö in the Stockholm archipelago designed by Tham & Videgard architects seems to defy the laws of gravity. The building sits on the border between a forest and the coast line making for the perfect weekender. Location aside a sequence of interconnected pitched roofs made of natural cast concrete create interior spaces of varying size and heights. Small rooms for entrance, bath, kitchen and sleeping constitute a thick wall towards the north, while a continuous open space for living and dining opens up to the south with vast views over the neighboring islands, the Baltic sea and the horizon. The mix of raw precast concrete and natural timbers are a marriage made in design heaven as both will age magnificently as the years roll on and together they bring a warmth and cosiness to the Summer House. Breathtakingly beautiful and oh so Swedish!
