Johan Sundberg Arkitektur has shared photos of a new summer home they completed in Yngsjö, Sweden, that’s nestled among pine-covered hills and by the shores of the Baltic Sea.

The home is clad in larch panels rhythmically interrupted by vertical pilasters, while the facade exudes a harmonious aesthetic.

Comprising a singular volume oriented in a north-south direction, the house features a recessed section in its central part, facing west and hosting a sheltered terrace basking in the evening sun. The southern section, encompassing the entrance, kitchen, and communal areas, effortlessly connects to the ground with a fluid transition to the surrounding nature.

Meanwhile, the northern half, housing more private spaces, gracefully hovers above the terrain on slender pillars, establishing a direct connection with the treetops through expansive bedroom windows.

The interior ceiling and its overhanging sections boast a unified, slender-profile larch surface, which has a calming and sound-absorbing effect throughout the entirety of the house.

The living room, dining area, and kitchen are all open-plan, and the wood kitchen cabinets complement the wood throughout the home.
