Paradise Hotel

The homes for the Elderly that has been designed in Sweden in recent years has been very institution-like creations that has treated the elderly inhuman and patronizing, like cattle hidden away in hermetic rooms along never ending corridors. Its time for a change!



Paradise Hotel - A innovative home for seniors mixed with a hotel.
The concept is like having a vertical cruise ship; reletively small cabins with an abundance of quality common areas focused in leisure and relaxation.
A tropical garden with strong lights, a restaurant floor, roof terrace and so on.




On each floor, is a space for social activities, with great views, computers, a fireplace, board games, books and so on.



Each apartment is modern and with its own terrace. The construction allows different sizes of the appartments, because none of the dividing walls are structural.



The winters in Sweden are dark which can lead to winter depression due to the lack of light and warmth. In Paradise Hotel a whole floor is set aside for a tropical garden with butterflies, colorful plants and intense light.

Modul Royal

Modul Royal, proposed for a small town in Sweden in a park environment, we tried to propose something for the +55 category that wants to sell their villa and move into the town, where there are more service and closer to things, but still be able to enjoy the advantages of their former living.

So the concept is fairly simple; stacked housing with a lot of gardens to combine the best of both the countryside and the town, density and service with exclusiveness and a green environment.


The competition wanted a modular system to make it cheap and easy to construct.
Stacked in different heights, the houses emerges.


A unique detail is this "cactus-circulation".
Three houses shares this elvevator/stairs module, and ramps that you can flip up connects the individual houses, so the effect will be like a medieval castle.



To please the competition regulations, we divided some villas into smaller apartments.
The cactus is also a glass house with tomatoes, roses and herbs.

Another important detail is the facade.
The gaps between the sheetings makes it possible to grow plants to cover the building in.

Mellom

We were assigned to do a small fire place in an apartment in Stockholm among some other interior challenges. We decided to make the fireplace a fairytale one. The fire place is painted with heat sensitive paint so when the chimney gets heated up, a gold glimmering text will reveal itself showing recipes and other proposals how to use the fire place. The fire place where also equipped with some accessories to make cooking and fire place activities more easy.
