visiondivision: the peak series

swedish architecture firm visiondivision‘s latest project is ‘the peak series’ of pre-fabricated summer houses which are available in two sizes: 45 m2 and 90 m2.

pyramidal in shape, each house fashions a wood façade with a gap between the boards, allowing one to climb its exterior. divided into three floors, the middle level is the sleeping mezzanine, where a large number of guests can be accommodated. it is sandwiched between the open social first floor with a kitchen and living room, and the upper level which houses the master bedroom with bathroom. each guest bed can be reached through a private entrance hatch, that can be accessed from the house’s exterior. the hatches also act as individual fire escapes and provide a nice view of the surrounding landscape from one’s bed. the upper floor has hatches from the bedroom and bathroom.

45 m2 – exterior

the smallest house (45 m2) has one master bedroom at the upper level and a mezzanine level which can hold up to six guest beds.

the houses will first be available in scandinavian countries, but will be adaptable to other countries and on larger scales as well. here are a look at some of the possibilities:
