Elements of nature have been essential for the design, the tectonics and choice of materials. Nature is ubiq-uitously present and included in the experience by smooth transitions between indoors and outdoors and by carefully framed views. Sea view is prioritized throughout the staggered composition of volumes and terraces. Poetic use of warm, natural materials in a mix with refined architectural detailing underline the ex-perience of tranquility, restitution and simple living, designed by RUBOW arkitekter. A strategy for using site specific, local materials brings a convincing truism to the project: Light grey matt polished concrete cover the floors while the walls and ceilings are clad with light pine veneer. With respect to nature and to the simple life, the dark tones of the house quietly blend in with the surround-ing forest as black painted timbering dress the simple structures.
