Torö
An addition and renovation of a weekend house on Torö, an island in Stockholm's southern archipelago. The existing building is a catalogue home from the early 1970s, standing in a mossy clearing on the highest point of the island.
A new volume extends the northern gable, every interior space was reprogrammed, and a new roof was built, 93 m² in all, including the 18 m² addition.
Awarded Ung Svensk Arkitektur 2023. The jury cited a loving approach to an often overlooked category of Swedish folkhem architecture that avoids nostalgia, understanding the qualities of what is already there and blending them with contemporary additions.
