Danish interior design studio Norm Architects has designed a modern holiday home for a family, Archipelago House, located in a natural landscape in Sweden. Located on Sweden's unspoilt rocky coast, the wooden structure blends harmoniously with the surrounding nature and takes inspiration from the boathouse on the rocky coast. Perched on a cliff, the house consists of four wooden volumes connected to each other and by terraces along the sloping plot.

The interior of the Archipelago house follows the sloping topography, with the different Spaces in the house connected by internal steps and staircases that connect the five different levels of the house. The color and material scheme of the interior is kept natural, with soft high-end materials that reflect the nature of the exterior. In this house, there is not only a direct connection and transparency between inside and outside, but also a more symbolic connection in the use of materials and colors.

The house uses natural materials, pastel colors, clean lines, and minimal but carefully curated furniture. The interior focuses on high quality crafts and handmade pieces. The main living space is a double-height room separated by a large industrial kitchen island. On one side is a sitting area with a view of the rocky mountain from the frame; The dining area on the other side opens onto an outdoor terrace, which can be fully connected by folding doors that slide to one side.

All storage and functional elements of the kitchen are built into the rock walls and create a wooden interior facade that extends throughout the space to maximize storage and reduce clutter. Inspired by Nordic architectural traditions and Japanese aesthetic and craft sensitivities, the project aims to achieve the best of both worlds.

The design of Archipelago House focuses on integrating functions, with clean lines, bright Spaces and light-colored architecture to create a nice place for family life, perfect for vacationing when the occupants want to escape the busy life of the city.
