HG73 House R
Tanum, Sweden 2024.
The house is located on a gentle slope at the foot of a hill,
nestled between agricultural fields and a grove. The setting allows
for the creation of a courtyard on the entrance side, while the
opposite side opens out towards views of the surrounding fields. From
here, the owners can see their family farm, now managed by one of
their children.
The house features eaves designed to respond to the changing
seasons. In summer, they provide shade, helping to keep the interior
cool. In winter, when the sun is lower, the eaves allow sunlight to
enter, bringing warmth and light to the rooms.
Inside, the walls are panelled and painted white to reflect the
natural light that enters through carefully positioned windows. The
combination of window placement, white surfaces, and eaves creates a
balance between light, shade, and views. This design
results in spaces that feel bright and remain connected to the
surrounding landscape.
