Town house
Townhouse in Nacka, outside of Stockholm
2010 – Tutors: Johanna Bruce & Milo Lavén. Small townhouses in the woods of Nacka. A simple, rational structure characterizes the project with inspiration drawn from more industrial buildings and architects such as Charles and Ray Eames and Lacaton&Vassal.
The linking space of the typical Swedish “kedjehus” (linked rowhouse) is traditionally a cold and closed storage space or garage. A driving aspect of this project was to try to rethink this space, enable alternative usage of it and to a certain degree blur the boundary between storage and dwelling.
A steel frame serves as the main load bearing structure while pre-fabricated, steel-clad insulating Paroc elements are used for walls.
