Text description provided by the architects. The “Silvervillan” is located in one of the most environmental friendly areas of Sweden. Its all about organic farming, local production of bread, cheese, fruit juices etc. Waldorf and Rudolf Steiner schools, a big antroposophical center and cultural activities are in the area.

The house is build to be able to keep a comfortable and balanced temperature all year around, even for extreme cold winters in Sweden, without increasing electricity bills.
