Fredriksberg
The large site (24 ha) is located in the heart of the rural countryside of Södermanland, two hours’ drive from Stockholm. The location is totally secluded, and the building is placed on a small hill, overlooking the cultivated nature in four different directions.
The building creates, together with the surrounding landscape, a new relationship where the house becomes a focal point in nature, like a beacon. The strict geometry of the house creates an abstraction; the building becomes a sign in the landscape without scale.
The organisation of the interior is straightforward: one large space on each floor, with a stairwell slightly off-centre, subdividing the large spaces to meet the different functions of the programme.
The ground level is the common space, whereas the upper level is the private. The hidden roof terrace offers long views over the property.
The building technique is traditional solid masonry with the bricks and mortar in the same light grey colour
