Villa Furuholmen
Rosalalandet, Finland
Houses
2019
Villa Furuholmen is situated on an archipelago site of exposed cliffs, windswept junipers and untouched lichen. To disturb as little of this as possible, the house is broken into a chain of small volumes raised on stilts, linked by terraces along a path through the terrain. The route is set by what was already there: the largest trees, the rock formations, and the winds that cross the site from north and south.
The result is a house without corridors, where outside is only ever a few steps away. An archipelago of interior spaces threaded through an archipelago of landscape. The villa is a prototype for building lightly on complex terrain, published internationally in Enki, Residence, Divisare and BoBedre.
