From the architects:

Nestled among the undulating pine-covered hills in Yngsjö, just by the shores of the Baltic Sea, stands a summer retreat designed for a family of four. The landscape here embraces a lack of meticulously landscaped gardens, opting instead for the dominance of the natural forest setting, where small-scale structures blend seamlessly amidst the trees.

Comprising a singular volume-oriented in a north-south direction, the house features a recessed section in its central part, facing west and hosting a sheltered terrace basking in the evening sun. The southern section, encompassing the entrance, kitchen, and communal areas, effortlessly connects to the ground with a fluid transition to the surrounding nature.

Meanwhile, the northern half, housing more private spaces, gracefully hovers above the terrain on slender pillars, establishing a direct connection with the treetops through expansive bedroom windows.
