Located at a coastal Nature Reserve of Tjurpannan, an austere landscape shaped by wind and weather, this house by HelgessonGozaga Arkitekter is stunningly open and exposed to the sea.
Situated on a flattened portion of the site, the house acts as a visual portal toward the Nature Reserve. The house is first approached through an old stone wall, with a natural path leading visitors through the landscape. The spatial organization comes from the grid of the wooden structure.
Although the house is primarily intended as a weekend home and platform for outdoor activities, its program still offers basic living functions.
The home's material and structural expression is rustic, with the construction approach referencing local building traditions. And in a showcase of dark natural colours, all exterior wood is treated with tar, and the interior is stained a dark brown.
Finally, a feature canopy creates a spatial horizontality and enhances a long perspective that anchors the house into its context.
