Materials

The whole palette of material is also made out of wood with a combination of natural larch and dark fir. The glass material is used to design the window and the slide doors, providing a great view from the landscape around the house to the interior. The wooden floor is warm, a perfect material for such as a summer house.

Details

The main concept of Sommarhus T is about creating a generous house that has a good connection with nature in all directions of the house. This house has some grand spaces with a humble impression without any excessive details. The roof eaves can provide shade and also create a low visual expression with some extended horizontal lines.

Exterior

Sommarhus T has a large exterior with a wooden floor on the terrace. The family can enjoy the fresh nature from this exterior area or only enjoy the views from the interior of the house through the glass sliding doors. The natural light comes into this house directly from the exterior area and comes into the interior freely, offering a warmer atmosphere during the days.
