無限晨光
纖幼鋼柱支撐著懸垂部分，打造帶遮蔽設計的戶外生活間，並放上Salt Trädgårdmöbler當地設計的沙發。柔和灰的Hay Dot床單與Normann Copenhagen的兩面用墊子完美配搭 pitched roofs. The top-lit watchtower pushes out elegantly from the low villa, evocative of the angular viewing areas on the Tåkern birdwatching sanctuary in Glänås, on which Gert worked in 2008.
"This tower was designed as an area where you can really soak up the sea views," the architect explains. "On the whole, the low villa has a wide, horizontal emphasis, so the contrasting tower provides a cosy area with a very different feel from the rest of the house. Light floods in from the top, making for a fabulous workspace." For Anders, the tower is also an important part of the design. "I like the changing view. Downstairs, the courtyard is so private you can only catch glimpses of the sea behind the trees, but when you go up into the tower you get a great element of surprise, with the ocean opening out beyond."
The family worked closely with the architects, with Gert likening the process to "a ping-pong match, where ideas and inspiration bounced between myself and Anders and Kristina". As avid collectors of various objects and art, it was important that the house could accommodate the family’s treasures, including a black-and-white painting by Linda Spåman and other bold pieces by Kurt Lightner. For Anders, one of the best bits about the house is the contrast between modern elements, such as "the crisp, minimal design of the space and building, and the more traditional wood used to clad it".
As a car designer, Anders’ love for automobiles also seeps into the architecture. A new hightech window system by Swedish company Hajom creates a seamless finish where the glass meets
「塔樓設計成一個你可以真正浸沉於海景中的地方。」建築師解釋：「整體而言，低矮別墅的重點落在寬闊水平面上，與之起對比的塔樓便提供了一處跟房子格調與別不同的舒適空間。光線從上方傾瀉而下，是完美的工作地點。」對Anders來說，塔樓也是重要的設計部分。「我喜愛時會改變的景致。樓下的庭園私密度高，只能稍稍看到樹後的海景，但只要走上塔樓就能欣賞到教人驚喜的對外汪洋。」
一家人與建築師們緊密合作，Gert更把過程比喻成「一場乒乓對壘，構思和靈感不停在我、Anders和Kristina之間來回往返。」對於熱愛收藏藝術品的他們來說，家居必能好好容納珍藏作品，包括一幅出自Linda Spåman之手的黑白色油畫，以及Kurt Lightner的奪目作。對Anders來說，房子優勢之一就是跟現代元素的鮮明對比，包括「清新簡約的空間和大樓設計，以及覆在其上的傳統木材」。
