visiondivision: spröjs house

visiondivision has completed 'spröjs house', an extension for a private residence in the swedish countryside.
connected to the traditional main house through a glass corridor, the design literally becomes an intersection
between traditional and contemporary swedish aesthetics.

influenced by the structure and characteristics of window mullions, the extension features a front facade
composed of gridded frames that overlook a nearby garden and lake. extending inwards, the mullions
become an integrated system of built-in shelves that house extra storage. the sloping landscape dictates
the multi-leveled design which accommodates a master bedroom, workspace, breakfast area and storage
in three separate areas.

pope   01.27.11
it is a brilliant design regarding to where the sunlight may comes in and its space design makes the room looks alot bigger than its actual dimension. However, i would seriously consider about the security. you know it's kind of easy to break in . ><

somnabu > Security in Sweden in very high, there is very unusal that there is a break in out in the country side or in smaller citys.
James   01.28.11

nicholas_orton@yahoo.com   01.29.11
when i first look at a home, the first thing that i look for security, you can a modern and elegant home that's also secure, from the pictures given, it seems i can grab anything and break right in, other than that, this is great, sun comes up on the side where its all windows, the windows are also shelves which is a very good way to save some space
