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.

Spröjs Villa


Spröjs Villa exterior
The Spröjs Villa is a modern style summer house for people with high architectonical taste. The building is based on the Spröjs modular system and can grow in length to any size requested. The house could be just 30 m2, being a small pavilion, to being a slick 200 m2 villa. The house modular system is on every façade as well as the roof. In its original design the spröjs serves as beds, kitchen tables, sofas as well as bath tubs or pretty much any use that can be fitted into the Spröjs grid. The house slim floor plan does so that you will never be more than two meters from the outside and its open facades creates a house that always are in close contact with the outside just as a summer villa should be.

The roof is hovering around the building, letting the low winter light or sunset coming in, still protecting the house from overheating form the midday sun. The modular system also allows opening in the grid for lanterns or for trees to grow through the grid.

Spröjs Cabin


Spröjs Cabin Exterior

Spröjs Cabin is a small 40 m2 summer house with a 20 m2 loft to host a normal family of a couple with two to three kids. Although it is fairly small the house includes a kitchen, a living room, a medium sized bathroom and an extra room plus a sleeping loft. The small size and the simple design of the house make it very easy to fit into almost any Scandinavian environment. The interior is however light and modern and very functional to serve the custom-made needs for any particular client.

The long mullion/shelf system along the main façade gives a light environment still packed with functions such as a wardrobe and changing bench in the hall, a kitchen table and storage space in the kitchen and a workspace, TV space and shelves in the living room. The extra room can either be used as a bedroom or as a workspace depending on the need. The loft can either be full-length enabling four beds or of half length giving only two beds but an extra height in the living room. Since the house is designed after a modular system, various changes can be made upon request. Both long facades can for example be mullion facades and the house can easily be shortened or lengthened after demand. And since it is part of the Spröjs Series perhaps a Spröjs Shed can be added later if an extra space is needed.
Spröjs Cabin will be for sale in Scandinavia through our summer house manufacturer Sommarnöjen, on their website you will also have more information in Swedish.

Spröjs Shed


Exterior render of Spröjs Shed as a guest house

Spröjs Shed is designed with an area of 15m2 to provide an extension alternative to existing summerhouses in Sweden without needing a building permit. The house has a Swedish look that can be incorporated to most Swedish summer houses without standing out too much, still looking great by its own and still having a modern inside that covers many needs.

The small shed is designed to host many different functions depending on what extension is needed for that particular summer living. The size of the Spröjs Shed enables a decent guest house with a WC and kitchenette in various combinations depending on particular needs. The size of the house is also perfect for a sauna with relaxing possibilities. This small size house can also be adapted to more specific needs with great variety with the help of the Spröjs System. The mullions offers just as in the original “Spröjs House” functions as storage, cooking, workplaces and even seats in the Sauna version or whatever is needed for this small summer house.

Proving Ground Parking



Visiondivision where assigned to overview the parking situation at the KI-Campus, the medical university of Stockholm, most known for its Nobel prize committee, to come up with solutions to fit in more parking lots at the campus without interfering with its green spaces.
The campus environment is quite delicate, both in terms of its layout and its traditional campus aesthetics. To asphalt a parking lot means making definite decisions that demands a lot of bureaucracy while temporary solutions can be done more rapidly.
We thought of using temporary solutions as a sketch tool that later could be refined into a definite solution once seeing the actual result.
The temporary solution became to do gravel fills on spaces that where not being used across the campus. If a gravel fill proved after being built to be well used and nicely fitted in to the campus area it could then be covered with asphalt after seeking a definite permit and becoming a fixed parking lot, if the space wasn't used enough, the gravel could be taken away.



The team found together with the client 13 sites that could be gravel filled with a small budget, spread across the campus. Last summer most of those places has been gravel filled and will be evaluated during time to see if they are being well used and appreciated by the people on the campus.


Parking lot nr 2: While new during summer , not so well used.

Parking lot nr 2: Six month old during winter, well used.


Parking lot nr 10: Not so well used


Parkinglot nr 7: Photo taken during construction, now used for construction trucks


Parking lot nr 8: used as a waitning place for construction trucks


Parking lot nr 5: one month old and at full use.


Parking lot nr 5: Six month old and at full use.

Parking lot nr 4: Six month old full use.


Parking lot nr 6: Well used and now asphalted.


Parking lot 13: Was built last autum to serve as a parking space for 6 month while wating for a construction site to start. During the 6 month it was a parking lot and the campus got back its money twice for the cost of the gravel fill.
