Hill Hut / Visiondivision

Subscriber Access

Visiondivision‘s latest project, a residential extension for two children in Stockholm, utilizes a landscape surface that is enhanced by elements around and inside the house. The young children will be spending most of their day enjoying the outdoors, so Visiondivision “wanted to give the two new citizens a safe base where they can explore their new surroundings and be able to appreciate it to the fullest.” By deliberately choosing inexpensive building components, such as windows and façade materials, the architects saved a bigger part of the budget to create as many playful elements as they could.

More about the Hill House after the break.

The landscape becomes not only a series of hills and valleys for play, but a series of much more intricate spaces that include an outdoor cinema and a sledge slope.  A carpet of artificial grass blankets the artificially made hill to blend in with the natural grass.   This carpet continues out onto the terrace as well as  down the hallway between the children’s rooms, as an attempt to unite the exterior with the interior environment.
