Villa Arkî
Norrköping, Sweden
Villa Arkî is a summer
house situated on an island in the archipelago of Norrköping that will also
have the possibility to house the family over Christmas and fall vacations. A
steep slope towards south east with a marvelous view is the benchmark for the
placement and the form of the villa. The house consists of an archetypical
basic shape with a high-pitched roof completely covered in cedar wood which
over time will patinate into silvery grey and blend in with the surrounding
cliff landscape. A glassed lower volume
with sedum roofing and terraces is added on and is thereby creating a building
which follows the decrease of the slope.
The in-between spaces of the volumes creates out-door spaces in
different cardinal directions, on different levels, with and without roofs.
Sliding sun shields (with inbuilt mosquito net for the bed rooms) can cover in
and protect the house from weather and wind.
The villa is designed
to maximize the view and it is divided into a common first floor area and a
more private second floor. The first floor consists of two levels with
bath room, guest room and kitchen on the higher level and two steps down one
will find the spacious lounge room with the modern glass veranda with a
panoramic view. The views from the second floor reach only ocean, cliffs and
the green sedum roof. The second floor contains of two bed rooms, a bath room
and a living room with full room height up to the roof ridge. A loft with a
roof window is places above the bathroom. The volume of the building
contributes with a pleasant indoor climate in the summer and after a hot summer
day the roof windows can be opened to air out the building.
The materials are
carefully selected to create a sustainable and tolerant house with minimal
maintenance. Facades in untreated cedar wood, terraces in heat-treated ash wood
and metal details in zinc. Interior wise
the building contains of oak floors and furnishing and the walls are painted in
a light grey shade.
