Villa Ingarö / Max Holst Arkitektkontor

The site is located on a hill with magnificent pine trees and dynamic topography on an island in the Stockholm archipelago. The idea to place the house on plinths floating above the granite mainly came from an aesthetical and conceptual point of view but also for practical reasons since the ground floor level had to be raised above the existing ground level to enable a smooth entrance to the site by car and further into the building by foot. This worked well with me and my clients´ wish to leave the landscape surrounding the house as intact as possible.
