Sommarnöjen develops leisure residences and complements to villa gardens in a new way. The idea is to offer small houses with great potential, designed by Sweden’s most recognized architects. These are five new houses of 15 sqm that fit into different contexts, for different needs in different places.

The houses do not require building permits, are shipped at a fixed price with warranty, and are available in different designs and with various equipment packages; as complete second home for two, with guest bath and a kitchenette, a sauna with relaxation, a teenage villa or as an office.

Originally, the Friggebod shed was designed for the book “15 kvadrat”, 15 architect-designed Friggebod sheds. The book was conceived as a reaction to a change in regulations. The new rules allow the Swedish people to build a shed of 15 instead of 10 sq m without needing a building permit. Author: Eva Wrede. Publisher: Bokförlaget Max Ström

KS1 and KS2 are produced and sold by Sommarnöjen.

Stockholm-based architects Tham + Videgård Arkitekter have designed a tree hotel located in the far north of Sweden.

This shelter consists of a light-weight aluminium structure hung around a tree trunk, a 4×4x4m box clad in mirrored glass. The exterior reflects the surroundings and the sky, creating a camouflaged refuge. The concept enables new visual experiences liminates the differences between architetecture of reality and imagination.

The interior is all made of plywood and the windows give a 360 degree view. Tham & Videgård Arkitekter designed a treehouse for two people; a large bed, a small kitchenette and bath, a living room and roof terrace. The access to the cabin is by rope ladder or rope bridge.

To prevent bird collisions, ultraviolet colour will be screen printed on the laminated glass. The colour is only visible for birds.
