photographed by cristóbal palma, the building is clad with dark timber boards that enclose a series of private spaces and direct views towards the crashing waves.
the main feature of the design is the huge kitchen, dining and living space that opens out to the pool and the horizon beyond.
the house consists of three separate brick volumes set above a continuous living space on the ground floor.
the renovation preserves the original masonry façade but carves out a new world inside, one which prioritizes light, space and openness.
Tham and Videgard made a structure that is enviably simplistic, and required the least amount of hoop-jumping in order to enjoy its strengths. I’m far from a minimalist, but each of the other nine homes looked as though habitation was a challenge. “Too cute”, as my father would say.
The tri-gabled architectural triptych by T&V is fundamentalist in its line work but flexible in its occupation. Barrack or loft – depending on the inhabitant.
The flexibility is unique, and welcome.
