Article source: MURMAN ARKITEKTER AB The building is located near Sjaustru fishing village on the east coast of Gotland. The holiday home sits among maritime forest with thin vegetation cover towards the Baltic sea and direct access to the local beach. The client had a strong vision on what they wanted to achieve as a family holiday home in Gotland and was fully engaged in the design process. They owned an existing small beach house on the site which they planned to demolish to make way for this new building.  Image Courtesy © Åke E:son Lindman

This spatial organization of the 147 m² plan is formed around a central open lounge space. The previous beach house had a small courtyard so we placed large skylights in the previous location of the courtyard and ceiling to floor sliding doors opening out onto the patio. Adjoining this space are two bunk rooms and a master bedroom with sauna. The house comfortably sleeps 10 people. The open space connects with a central fireplace, entrance hall, a raised cozy sofa corner connected with the living space with open walls that allow views towards the sea and open kitchen area.

Walls and ceilings are covered in rough sawn pine cladding. The floor is polished concrete and all in-situ furnishing is solid pine. Velfac glass panels are recessed into the floor to allow seamless transition between inside and out. Externally the building is clad in Corten steel plates between the exposed timber post and beam construction. The lapped timber roof is detailed with hot-dip galvanized metal facing and rain water drainage. The exterior concrete patio connects to the adjoining sand dune meadow.
