That is the great feeling and sensation that you can feels if you were there spending your time on this cool waterfront home that was called "Villa Nackros", yup, this great seaside villa was designed by Swedish architect, Staffan Strindberg. The Architect initiated the project for a specific customer but without a specific place, so he had to shape an imaginary place to start.

This Modern Marine Homes "Villa Nakros" is situated in the town of Kalmar on the east coast of Sweden, Villa Nackros is a world away from the traditional 'houseboats' of the past. Villa Nackros offers a spacious, contemporary living environment that combines all the luxuries of the modern day home with the spatial freedom and unrivalled views that only waterfront living can provide.







































































The red of the facade is a classic red Sweden, and the house can talk to the other in Kalmar and those of the fishermen on the island of Änglö. The external material, except some detail in wood, disregarding maintenance, and the shell devoid of thermal bridges.

Hof | a new Country Residence by Studio Granda Architects

Description :

Located in the Skakafjördur fjord, Iceland. This New Country Residence that was designed by Studio Granda Architects was designed and built on 2000-2004. The house located less than 100km from the Arctic Circle. The spectacle of the location, its remoteness and special program fuelled a unique rapport between the client, contractor and architect resulting in a building that is in every respect a direct consequence of that collaboration.

The existing assemblage of buildings on the estate included a house, church, barn and cowshed clustered on a riverbank. Further inland are recently constructed horse stables. The wide fjörd has a mountainous rim punctuated with long valleys embracing the cliff islands of Drangey, Málmey and the graphic foreland Thórdarhöfdi. The new residence is slightly removed from the old cluster on raised ground, with each room and space orientated to capture this magnificent panorama.














Externally the house rises from the tufted site as a series of sheer cedar and concrete walls that will weather according to the vagaries of the elements. The displaced grass of the field is reinstated on the roof and the surrounding meadow is cut and folded in earthworks of turf and stone that open ways to the entrance and terraces. Hexagonal basalt pillars were excavated from the site during the preparations for the foundations and the external surfaces are paved in this material.

Most internal walls are of raw or painted concrete and the ceilings, doors and other carpentry are predominately of oiled sawn oak with steel details; a rustic palette offset by smooth painted planes. In a gesture of refinement and escape the kitchen and bathrooms enjoy marble surfaces suggestive of more habitable latitudes whereas the larder’s glazed white tiles and basalt shelves reminds of the need to stash food for harsh winters.
