Spröjs Mansion


Spröjs Mansion front facade

Spröjs Mansion is a house for someone with a go for gold attitude. The house includes all good-life functions a person with assets and taste could beg for. The cellar contains a double garage connected to a wine cellar with an under water pool view. The first floor contains a spatial kitchen, living room and the main hall with double ceiling height if wanted. Two smaller outcrops on this floor contains on the kitchen side an orangery so the household always have fresh vegetables and fruits, and a relax room with sauna on the living room side.
The second floor holds two master bedrooms with connection to the pool via a trampoline and private balconies. The third floor resides a loft for guests or other use. The floor has a glass roof which is perfect for visitor’s lying in bed watching the sky or for an atelier space. Two towers penetrate the building; one is a chimney and the other one has a small view point where late drinks can be enjoyed.

The house has the form of a classic mansion but with a façade and program made for a fun and free life. The house contains several three dimensional movements with both stairs on the inside and outside of the house as well as ladders and diving-boards on the façade connecting the different levels of the house. To protect from overheating, the position of the glass panes varies in depth in the mullion and can be adapted to the specific site.

Fort Lola

2008-04-12

Second try in Granada for our picky clients.
The Postcard House was not "Spanish" enough.


The client wanted a dream house in the south of Spain that at the same time could be turned into an invisible fort when they client is not there.
Passing the house on the nearby road one will only see a garage. If you would accidentally walk pass the hidden garden you will see a façade with a flower patterned mesh.


The client will experience a totally different house. Inside the garage there is a spiral staircase leading down to a big living room, and as the mesh is flipped into sun protecting panes, the panoramic view towards the surrounding mountains will appear from all the social rooms and the bedrooms. The bathrooms are located towards the hill and will have a cave-like appearance


View towards the house from the lawn on the outside terrace.
