Modern Sweden Townhouse Design

Occupying a space of just 75 square metres, Townhouse looks like a bright white slab of the future dropped into the past, yet when the street is viewed as a whole, manages to blend in gracefully with it's olde worlde surroundings.

The single, continuous space, that is set out over three floors, opens to the street, through the middle of the living space and up to the sky, creating an airy, harmonious space that defies the potential claustrophobic feel a property of this size could deliver.

The interior consists of a single space, softly partitioned by three exposed steel slabs. These span the entire width of the house and divide its program kitchen, dining, living, library, bed, bath, and a roof terrace. The continuous interior space is opening up to the street, to the middle of the block, and to the sky above.

All facades are treated equally, exposing the interior and offering views through the building with similar apertures whether on the front, back or sides. The neigboring facades are closed, yet there is something deeply humane about their tactility, detailing, and ornaments.
