A house in a forest by a lake

In Riddarebo, just west of Borås, we find a house in a forest by a lake. The owners wanted a small house with an open floor plan, and chose a prefabricated house from A-hus. The house was adjusted according to the owners’ wishes – among other things, a conservatory was added, the ceiling height was raised to 2.70 m and the windows were adjusted to get as much light as possible.

The owners wanted the color and finish of the house to give it a low profile, and found the perfect solution in Tar Vitriol. The panels of the house are not treated with primer, but only painted with tar vitriol which has given it a lovely gray tone. More about the house-building project can be found at www.riddarebo.se
