Atrium house on Gotland. Situated on a 10th century shoreline, a low house set in a vast landscape, overlooking the Baltic sea.
The house is planned around a completely enclosed atrium courtyard in an open, undisturbed landscape where sheep graze.
The house is narrow, but its openings outward are broad, which gives the interior the character of a sheltering niche in the open space of the landscape.
Model study. With a thin plan and large openings, the interior is treated as one continuous space.
Floors in three levels relate to the slightly undulating land outside and differentiate the interior ceiling heights.
