Property: A couple regularly working in Finland uses Villa Sjöviken as a secondary residence with plans to settle there permanently.
Style Idea: This one-story home’s architectural style was inspired by the stunning archipelagic landscape of southern Finland. After passing through a local forest, the mansion is perched atop a sharp hill and provides magnificent views of the seas below.
Its Y-shaped layout is centered on a dual-sided fireplace, which is flanked by an open kitchen, dining room, and living space that is well-lit from all sides. The study, bathroom, and bedroom are located in seclusion, each with windows that perfectly frame the surrounding beauty.
Construction and Materials: The timber frame of the house, along with the cladding that replicates the surface of the nearby rocks, allow it to blend in perfectly with the curves of its surrounding landscape. A modest selection of materials in the interior emphasizes the link with the outside environment while giving priority to unimpeded views of the natural surroundings.
The remarkable Villa Sjöviken, designed by the visionary Jenni Reuter Architects, stands as a testament to timeless elegance and ingenuity. Its harmonious fusion of nature and modern aesthetics creates an enchanting retreat for those seeking solace. Villa Sjöviken, a true masterpiece by Jenni Reuter Architects, embodies the epitome of architectural brilliance and will continue to inspire generations to come.
