Bruno Mathssons sommarhus

The L-shaped building spans 85 square meters, featuring floor-to-ceiling glass walls and a sun courtyard enclosed by yellow corrugated plastic panels.

Furniture designer Bruno Mathsson constructed this experimental residence in 1960, introducing new architectural elements to Swedish residential design.

The building demonstrates a shift in Swedish residential architecture through its integration of indoor and outdoor spaces and minimal environmental controls.

The house contains a living room, study, bedroom, and two guest rooms, with heating provided through an innovative floor-based hot water system.

The structure employs South American pine for interior surfaces and features a light-permeable vaulted roof made of corrugated plastic secured in metal gutters.
