In the Nacka district in southeastern Stockholm, a trio of local architects, Hermansson Hiller Lundberg, has built a minimalist family house. The bright plastered cube is composed of massive pillars and beams, which clearly hint at the tectonics of the entire house. However, it must be admitted that the division into individual segments is merely an illusion created by the joints in the solid plaster. Unlike traditional family houses in Scandinavia, which strive to engage in dialogue with the surrounding landscape and blend in as seamlessly as possible, this one is an exception that proudly stands on a massive concrete base. The timeless form draws inspiration from ancient prototypes. Deeply set windows and the western loggia lend a distinctive plasticity to the design. In contrast to the external segmentation, the interior space is entirely homogeneous (floor, walls, and ceiling in the same tone).
