A small wooden cabin with sauna and bedroom on the island of Trossö, Sweden. Two large windows frame the windswept and poetic landscape: the ocean on one side, pines on the other, with a large sliding door effectively doubling the living area when open. The brief was a room with a view of the sea. A minimal living space, containg only the essential.
The exterior material is swedish spruce painted with a mat black paint (3 layers). The interior floor boards are swedish spruce, and the walls and ceiling are clad in plywood. All materials had to be transported by boat and carried by hand since there are no connection to the main land and no roads, nor cars on the island.
The sloping roof was for the interior volume and also all local vernacular fishing cabins have pitched roof, the building is raised from the ground to do the least possible impact on nature.
The sea is 50 meters from the house. The nearest town/fishing village is a 15 minutes boat ride away.
