MONUMENTS IN LANDSCAPE

In this project, I look at how we move in and around space and how the work sits in its surroundings. Starting with one and the same site, I explore three different ways of adding a monument to an environment. It becomes a place for remembering, cherishing or simply interacting with the landscape through adding an abstract object at the human scale. In the end it is about what atmosphere these relationships can induce. Be it stillness, contemplation, or a hightened awareness of the surroundings and yourself.

TYPE OF PROJECT: Attefallshus

LOCATION: Södermalm, Stockholm

YEAR: 2018

This small living space, contained within the limitations of a so called Attefallshus (25 m2) is designed as a guest house to sit on top of a hill with the back to the forest. A traditional barn typology clad in black wood, offering an inviting bay window, a fire place and extra sleeping spaces on a loft.

In collaboration with Jesper Starvid, Architect SAR/MSA.
