Gotland, Sweden

In Construction

The building is located within a natural

protection zone on the island of Gotland

in the middle of the Baltic sea, 48 meters

from the edge of the water. The interior

consists of two intersecting volumes: one

in limestone that contains the kitchen

and support, and the other in wood and

glass that holds the public areas of the

restaurant, deli and bar. Traditionally

houses like these are built without metal

fasteners and sealed with lamb wool and

tar. At this sensitive site, the structure

draws from its surrounding landscape and

contextual building culture of post-and plank

construction.
