For centuries, farmers and fishermen in the outer archipelago built their houses as simple timber structures resting on a few foundation stones, adapting to the slopes of the exposed bedrock. This vacation home builds on that idea, anchoring the entire building on a small concrete plinth at its centre.
The spatial configuration of the house begins with its elevated position in the landscape. It is conceived as a large platform that benefits from sunlight from morning until sunset, capturing long views across the sea as well as the surrounding forested hills. The eight exposed timber trusses serve as both structure, facade, and spatial organisation. This creates a layered sequence, from the entrance and smaller rooms gradually opening up towards the vast archipelago landscape.
Within the square plan, the sturdy timber trusses are complemented only by glass partitions that separate interior and exterior. The result is an airy, transparent building in which the terrace extends the social spaces of the interior. A small stair provides direct access from the terrace to the shoreline, where a sauna and jetty offer places to spend time by the water.
