Andersson: Villa Wallin

Immersed in the Swedish woods, a small holiday house designed by Erik Andersson Architects is invaded by windows, in a clear tribute to nature.

Erik Andersson Architects have designed an archetypal house in Yxlan, an island in the northern Stockholm archipelago. The villa is situated on a natural ground that has been preserved, and has a terrace that runs all around making it possible to have as much sun as possible. The design follows proportional 1:3 ratios, measuring 1,8 metres in depth, 5,5 metres in length and 1,8 metres in height. All windows are square and the same size, except for a slightly smaller skylight.

The house features glass panels on both sides, seeking to maintain visual contact with the nearby water at all times, and to allow as much daylight inside as possible. The exterior is composed of black panels and a cardboard roof, while the interiors are dominated by white: both plaster walls and pine floors are painted white, except for the bathroom, which featured black tiles on the walls.
