Villa RONNEVIK

Täby - Viggbyholm is a residential district built in the northeastern suburbs of Stockholm directly in the midst of a forested area on the shore of a sea bay with a small yacht harbor. The house is positioned on a rectangular corner plot along the back boundary to create as large an open garden as possible in front of the living part of the western façade. The blocky mass of the building is set into the softly modulated terrain, responding to the slope of the land with its sloping form. This principle continues inside the house, where the spaces cascade down alongside the garden, culminating in a central fully-glazed two-story living hall with an inserted ramp bridge.
The building is constructed as a wooden frame structure made of standard spruce profiles, which are founded on a reinforced concrete slab. It is a construction sandwich system with embedded thermal insulation of 285mm thickness (or 365mm in the roof) and internal cladding made of drywall panels. The exterior façade is clad with wooden planks made from naturally weathered larch wood.
In contrast to the light gray natural tone of the wooden boards, black aluminum windows are designed, including sheet metal details with a high-gloss finish.
