nestled on a lonely rocky coast of sweden, archipelago summer house became a wooden landmark that resembles a boathouse set on top of a hidden cliff, embracing a swedish holiday home’s familial aspect.

designed by normarchitects, the house is also part of karimoku case study’s third case, which incorporates the bespoke interior and custom-made furniture with the all-wooden structure that is resulting in a harmonious relationship with surrounding nature.
