From the architect. In the coastal village of Kivik we were commissioned to design 12 houses. The building permission was strict and only allowed a roof angle of 45 degrees. To create an interesting spacial experience we divided the houses in different units, the high ceiling makes the interior rather unique although it’s traditional shape.
Through this division of the house, the exterior scale is taken down and each volume is perceived as individual houses,this creates a nice connection to the old town of Kivik with small houses and narrow alleys.
