These vacation houses are located in Timrarö, Sweden. The project was completed in 2012 by Sandell Sandberg. Each vacation houses was constructed from locally-sourced wood and propped up on stilts to mitigate their footprint. According to the architects: “Eight vacation houses located on an island in the archipelago. As the properties are situated high up on the island, each house has a spectacular view towards the water. In addition to each house comes a guest house for a combined area of approximately 115 sq.m. There is also a relatively large terrace that connects the main building with the guest house, as well as a roof terrace on the main building.” Modern and minimalist, this group of wooden dwellings has a distinct presence yet not at the expense of the surrounding forest.
