Villa Ekros

A Red House

In an old residential area with traditional red wooden houses and green cultivated gardens, Villa Ekros aims to establish a contemporary language for the traditional Swedish red house within the constraints imposed by the area’s rigid building regulations. The pitched roof together with the plan’s twisted shape - designed to minimize views between neighbors and preserve the trees on site - provides for an interior of intriguing angles and unexpected views.
