Stockholm design studio HelgessonGonzaga recently finished its dark timber cabin that is found within the coastal nature reserve, aptly named the House Tjurpannan. It boasts a simplistic design language with an open space and is perfect as a holiday home over weekends. The house is also a great base for families that want to participate in outdoor activities within the comforts of nature.
Co-founder of the studio Andreas Gonzaga tells Dezeen that "The positioning of the house follows a traditional train of thoughts, paying close attention to topography, direction, and importance of elements in the cultural landscape. The spatial structure suggests the possibility of spontaneous and unexpected use, hence the house could be seen as a luxurious way of camping,"
