The scheme suggests a high density plan of houses positioned in a forest landscape in a southern suburb of stockholm. Exterior walls enables private gardens on both sides of the individual house. Towards the street the garage and a studiospace establishes an inhabited barrier for flexible use. The aim is to inhabit the whole plot and integrate outdoor and indoor spaces. The feeling of privacy is important, at the same time the project makes full use of the contact with the forest environment and enables a varied and generous outdoor life.
