Swedish design firm Johan Sundberg Arkitektur designs the Yngsjö holiday home. It is made with natural materials and a light tonal palette which is compatible with the environment of southern Sweden. It is dubbed after its location -- Yngsjö is just by the Baltic Sea shores. The house was constructed as a tranquil retreat away from city life for a Swedish family based in London.
Sundberg explains, "I aimed to reduce complexity but avoid reductionism, creating a house that stands out while still adapting to its surrounding. The kitchen, entirely in oak, adds a warm, mysterious quality to the interior – it became delightful, darker and a bit more mysterious than I first imagined. The woodworking around the awnings and the quality of light filtering through the ceiling exceeded our expectations from the model work."
