Villa Lima by Johan Sundberg

Posted by on Jan 7, 2011 in ARCHITECTURE

This beautiful house in Höllviken south of Malmö (Sweden) originally a seaside summer resort. The challenge for architect Johan Sundberg was to build a modern economical family house on a traditional summer-house lot.  A typical saddle roof is to be combined with a held-back modern design. Large glazed sliding doors and crisp dormers create a prismatic form playing with volumes without any unnecessary leaps or edges. The design dissolves the traditional 1,5-story bottom level plan and opens up the structure both over the corners and up through the first floor. Lines-of-sight penetrate the house and the window positions work to frame the scenery on the outside.
