‘Project Ö’

The buildings pay a tribute to the traditional Finnish archipelago aesthetics, with cabled roof, long eaves, extended gutters and vertical cladding. The shape of the cabins is long and narrow, which allows for large window surfaces with varying views, as well as possibilities for very different types of functions at the opposite ends of the building; for example, sundowner drinks with friends at one end, while the kids are sleeping in the other.

It is a sustainable four-bedroom family home that is largely hidden from the street and produces an average of 100 kilowatt hours of energy a day. The home was designed to feel natural and connected to nature with the use of materials, whilst still being hi-tech and high performing.
