Sommarhus at Stora Gasmora by LLP Arkitektkontor
Zuzanna Gasior
Aug 16, 2021

LLP Arkitektkontor completed the summerhouse in a field on the Gasmora peninsula at Fårö, next to a 15th century mansion. 

The plot borders an open plateau with meadows and fields facing the Baltic Sea. Facades in larch and the gabled roof of fiber cement boards reminds of buildings associated with the agricultural context. The entrance space is located in one end of the building, fully inhabitable summertime as an extension of the living room.  A glazed sliding door opens the living room entirely towards the entrance space. 

At the ground floor all division walls connect only to one side of the building, and thanks to this accent the visitors can grasp a deeper perspective into the semi-openspace. A fireplace is located in the double height living room open to the first floor. The stair leads towards the light and an upper terrace with a view to the sea. The passage on the first floor has open bookshelves leading you to another living space and an additional bedroom. 

In the entrance space the concrete of the foundation slab is left visible. The facades in the larch are fastened without visible screws. A number of shutters in larch make it possible to close the building during wintertime and offer shade in the summer.
