Sommarhus E, Sweden
Integrating Gotland’s natural beauty
Founded in 2006, Swedish architectural firm Johan Sundberg Arkitektur has designed numerous private homes across Sweden, including Sommarhus E, a peaceful holiday retreat on the island of Gotland. Crafted to integrate seamlessly with the island’s natural beauty, the house uses locally sourced materials — lime, pine, and limestone from Gotland’s quarries.
The main building comprises intersecting volumes, thoughtfully arranged to create sheltered spaces that blend effortlessly between indoors and outdoors. The lime-washed brick facade features minimal openings, ensuring privacy, while pine planks line the courtyard walls, enhancing the warmth and intimacy of the pool and terrace areas.
At the heart of the home lies the social core — the living room, kitchen, and dining area. Here, the simple elegance of Børge Mogensen’s J39 Chair and C18 Shaker Table complements the natural material palette, embodying the essence of Scandinavian design throughout the space.
