Archipelago House
Gothenburg, Sweden
Named after its location on the rocky west coast of Sweden, Archipelago House is a minimalist getaway for a family of four. On a sloping plot, Norm Architects has completed a structure of four wooden volumes set into the cliff and mirroring local building traditions found in boat houses on the rocky shores. The Copenhagen-based studio invented a color and material-scheme reflecting the natural surroundings. And while the GPS states that we are just south of Gothenburg, the bespoke furnishing and minimalist aesthetics take us all the way to Japan.
