The cubist residential house allows for balconies and terraces in clear colors to stand out against a black background. The composition with dark to bright, and soft to hard, contrasts with the surrounding villas.

The housing type is studios with a loft and studio feel; rational and flexible structures for leisure and work alike. Interior walls can be added or moved as needed. The building is three stories and was initially built to be so called “bokaler”, a Swedish term for a multi-function type of building that would open up for both corporate apartments, offices or homes. In the end, however, a housing cooperation was formed to simplify the sale.

At the ground level there are five two-storey units where large sliding glass sections allow for garage, office or studio function.

Upstairs there is the possibility of a more private part with bedroom, kitchen and family room. It is prepared for a kitchenette in each room and storage walls can be built in, which opens for a flexible use. Gray concrete floors, white walls, the absence of plinths and moldings, generous ceiling height, tall glass sections and stair railings in white lacquered expanded metal give the interior an industrial character.

The different units are stacked like boxes and the balconies are cut to create a dynamic expression. The façade panel consists of plain pontoon without bevel (no cover boards or window lining) and is painted in a blackish“falu red” color to get a matt black velvet structure. The matte black color keeps tight against the contrasting boxes in clear, warm accent colors outward the road.

Each apartment has its own color, which extends to the interior color palette of the bathroom and the kitchen / kitchenette.

The atriums on the back of the building provide great light intake and have the mountain and the nature as a backdrop. The wooden ribs of pine core on both the railings and stairwell volume form a soft contrast to the front-side matt black structure.
