Summer villa by the ocean

This is Sommarvilla_01 by Innerstadens Arkitekter, a firm based in Gothenburg. The architects supplied basic drawings and a set of requirements for my visualisations. The surroundings were based on any material handed with the drawings, as well as moodboards and references I found on my own. The villa was to be located in the south of Sweden, which was right up my alley as this is where I grew up. I chose a setting close to the water, with pines and heathers making up most of the landscape.

As a reference, I used photos I’ve taken on my own in those areas. Furthermore, the exterior walls were to be embellished by light plaster or vertical wood panels – I went for wood – and that the roof is clad in grooved steel. Specifically, I opted for local pine facades and an aluminium-zinc alloy roof able to resist the testing coastal climate.
