Article source: Jenni Reuter Architects Villa Sundsvedja is located in the Dragsfjärd archipelago. The manor of Söderlångvik was formerly owned by Amos Anderson, a well-known patron of culture. Today it is a museum. In addition, the manor has an apple orchard, greenhouses, agricultural operations, direct sales and a cafe. The estate is owned by the Föreningen Konstsamfundet foundation, which had long been wanting premises to be rented to executives and their families. A beautiful plot was found by the shore about one kilometre from the main building.
One arrives at Villa Sundsvedja from the north, along a rocky outcrop. From the inside the villa commands a view of the sea. The presence of the surrounding nature is actively felt throughout the house. The building comprises a low sauna section, black in colour, and a tall section which in time will patinate silvery grey and which contains spaces for accommodation, functions and events. The tall part of the building is a timber construction insulated with wood fibre boards, while the lower sauna section is made of concrete blocks. The building is heated geothermally.
