The Håkansson Tegman House by Johan Sundberg
Johan Sundberg designed the Håkansson Tegman house in Höllviken, Sweden.
Project description
Höllviken south of Malmö was originally a seaside resort, but the forested rows of summer houses are continuously being transformed into a carpet of permanent housing. The site is a somewhat complicated corner lot with roads to the north and west.
The client is a middle-aged couple with children who have now left the household. They commissioned a modern and nature-oriented one story house where sensuous qualities were the most important parameters throughout the design process.
The house is angled around an inner garden and, much like the Bergman Werntoft house, rests on the tradition of the Danish atrium house from the 60s and 70s. Three small bedrooms crowd together in the northern wing of the house, while the western wing is a continuous sequence of spaces consisting of a kitchen, dining room, library, living area, and winter garden.
The outer walls along the streets are clad with Pedersen clay bricks working as a screen. The stucture is a steel-enforced timber frame. Windows and sliding glass doors are made from Schüco aluminum profiles. The front and garage doors are custom made from ammonium smoked oak.
Design: Johan Sundberg

Cabin Drop XL : Modular Microarchitecture for Eco Tourism
If you are familiar with Drop eco-hotel design, then you probably recognize that Cabin DROP XL is the large version of that organically shaped removable hotel. This project is a part of a popular emerging trend in the area of modular microarchitecture. This modular design makes this cabin suitable to be placed in different areas, where your heart desires and it is permitted. Each cabin has been designed to be placed in natural spot where it is easily removed without giving any ecological damage by its presence.
Cabin Drop XL aims to meet the demand of eco-tourism where people love traveling but don’t like to stay in usual hotels in usual places, yet they want to stay in place that has high degree of design and features sustainable architecture.
Designer : In-Tenta for Urban Square
The main design of DROP XL new module offers multi-purpose uses such as removable cabin, removable hotel room, singular architectural element, or pop-up pods, and many more. With its 30 sqm dimension, it can be arranged to have several add-ons such as kitchen, closet, or other facitilies. Each DROP XL is off-site manufactured which then road transported to the final destination by truck. The base structure is elevated from the ground with adjustable steel legs in order to avoid contact with the soil and adapt to any terrains.
