located on the southern coast of scania in beddingestrand, sweden, the ‘villa ladybird’ by swedish practice johan sundberg arkitektur. is situated along the now elevated previous shoreline. the location acts as a shelf to offer views of the ocean and encompassing nature. the form of the dwelling accentuates a connection with nature with two wings set at a slight angle to frame views and block cross winds and sight lines from neighboring homes. a terrace along the perimeter glass enclosure is sheltered with a projecting canopy. tapering upward, the roof’s visibility is eliminated from the interior spaces.
the exterior is surfaced with planks of siberian larch and touches of anthracite zinc. the wooden frame of the structure is supported with concealed steel beams to bridge longer spans across openings. a trapezoid steel plate sheathed with insulation boards protects the material from the saltwater air. the aluminum framed glazing is treated to shield from corrosive winds while the walls beneath the wood cladding are also preserved.
