This summer house is built following the local construction tradition. A simple program, opened to the outside, makes from this house an elegant building.

The house is a long linear piece generated from a continuous section of a gable roof. It contains a summer home on one side and a guest room on the other. These are separated by an outside space which is like an outside living room. This space can be closed with wooden panels if necessary.
Memory of project by Enflo Arkitekter y DEVE Architecture
A summer house for a young family. The site on the Swedish island Gotland in the Baltic Sea is surrounded by open fields to the north and low forest to the south. Local building traditions are important in this region, as well as for the architect and client. The slim volume invites light into the house and makes nature always present. A tarred pine roof adds character to the sheer volume and spans the private bedrooms and bathroom, the indoor and outdoor living room, and the guest room. In time, after a number of tar treatments the roof and the façade will have the same color. Walls, floors, ceilings, and the kitchen are made of local pine. The outdoor living room is designed for the unstable Swedish summer climate with rain, wind, and sun. Exterior sliding shades stop the wind, protect against sunlight, and are used to close the house.

Helle Degn, Morten Vedelsbøl. DEVE Architecture
DEVE is a young architecture and design office based in Copenhagen, Denmark. It was established by Helle Degn and Morten Vedelsbøl in 2007. The structure of the company shifted in January of 2011, to become three distinct branches: DEVE Architecture ApS, DEVE Design ApS & DEVE Gallery ApS.
DEVE began as a symbiosis between an architectural office and an exhibition space specializing in architectonic artwork. The architecture office works at every scale and stage of the design process, from product design to urban planning. While the creation of expressive architectural forms is important, at DEVE. it is vital that the design process be grounded in context, social analysis, and sustainability.
