Gothenburg, Sweden
A 30 square metre guesthouse in Gothenburg from 2023, built as an attefallshus, the small Swedish building type allowed on a home's land without a full building permit. It stands at the outer edge of the plot on purpose, framing the garden between the main house and the rock and turning the lawn into a room; in summer it doubles as a garden pavilion and a studio.
The bedroom faces south, the kitchen and living room turn east and north, and a loft waits up a ladder. Outside it is untreated heartwood pine, nailed with stainless ring shank nails with domed heads, under a zinc roof with oak windows; inside the palette repeats, pine floors and a pine kitchen topped in oak. The architects photographed it themselves.
A practice formed in 2018 with offices in Stockholm and Gothenburg, run by partners Fabian Sahlqvist, Kristoffer Bilet and Anders Natt och Dag, working especially in restoration and the transformation of existing buildings.
