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.
