Sommarhus Solviken

Perched on a steep slope overlooking the Kattegat sea stands Summerhouse Solviken. Twelve steel pillars lift the home off the ground and place it level with the surrounding treetops- creating the impression of floating amongst the foliage.⁠ This elevated position amplifies the views and provides separation from the adjacent street.

A long staircase leads up from the street level to the house, where the main entrance is accessed via a large balcony that wraps around two sides of the building. The combined kitchen and living room, along with one of the three bedrooms, open directly to the balcony through large sliding glass doors.

The home’s subdued colour palette draws inspiration from the surrounding landscape. The facade boards, balcony railings, and visible structural elements are finished in muted green tones, while the wooden panelling is finished in a warm natural shade. Black powder-coated aluminium frames the doors and windows.
