HavsVidden resort, Åland Islands, Finland
Buildings with a feeling for the ocean Thomas Sandell, one of Sweden's most well-known and acclaimed architects has created the plans for the buildings which are now being built on Havsvidden. The fantastic buildings are being built down on the red granite promontory - a unique site with ocean views to die for. A harmonic landscape is being shaped as near to the ocean as you can get, where the houses melt into the nature without disturbing the surroundings. The aim is to erect 35 structures on the 50 hectare property. "These magnificent free-standing wooden houses have generous terraces made of pine, which project out towards the Baltic. All of the elements have been made to take advantage of the unique light and views over the water. Enormous glass walls fill the rooms with light and space. The slightly sloping roof is highest out towards the terrace and the ocean. Clinker and parquet make the heated flooring comfortable for bare feet, while the cosy fire in the spacious lounge warms both heart and soul."
