Located on the edge of a 10m drop into a gorge in Vindo, on an island on the Stockholm archipelago in Sweden, the properties south / east exposure was dictated by the ridge topography. Architect, Max Holst, made the most of the location by designing and creating a wooden single storey property that sits on black concrete plinths. This elevates the home into the trees, providing an eye level view of the mostly Pines. This tree house effect is continued with the interior of the home clad nearly fully with wood. On the exterior Dark timbers clad the façade and a sheltered deck leads to the living zone of kitchen, living and dining spaces.
Off of the home’;s deck, a walkway continues on to a little shed that is stacked high with firewood. Even the shed has a fireplace and wrap around decks for views down into the gorge below.
On the other side of the house a brief flight of stairs leads down to a sheltered deck. Right here the barbeque station is set up and just next to the deck, yet another stack of firewood is piled neatly amongst two of the trees.
The wrap about deck is covered in the very same wood employed on the exterior decking. Right here the view into the canopy of trees is actually spectacular and the balustrade that surrounds the deck is kept clean and simple so as not to interrupt the vista.
The wrap about deck is clearly visible via the windows of the living zone. The interior is clad in clear-coated tongue and groove wood boards so as to blend harmoniously with the forest-scape beyond the residence. The furnishings are kept to the very same tones as the wood flooring, walls and ceiling to assist emphasize the green of the trees and continue the tree property effect.
The kitchen cabinetry is veneered in much more mid tone woods and the counters are a black strong surface. The only pop of colours comes from the counter tops, the vent pipe over the stove, the dark brown pendant more than the dining table and the pillow on the couch. The exposed beams supply a repeat pattern that is picked up in the pillow.
A wide hallway leads from the living zone to the sleeping location. The hallway doubles as a play region for the children whose bedrooms are connected to it.
Acting a buffer in between the living and sleeping sections of the house are a bathroom and sauna. The two area Sauna is a holistic location to loosen up and unwind, even though nonetheless enjoying the treetop views from the lounge location
The walls in the hot space of the sauna are clad in wood with a black walnut stain whilst the wood floors hold their light natural finish.
At the far finish of the hall is the Master Bedroom. The property owners have selected to keep the spacious area uncluttered, furnishing it with only the required products of bed, bedside tables and lighting. The easy minimalist strategy to this space makes it possible for the homeowners a place to unwind and relax just before drifting off into a blissful slumber surrounded by nature.
