Text description provided by the architects. Villa Kapla is a three story, split-level house, based on the logic of Kapla planks. It’s an organic, yet rectangular, wooden building, sitting on one of the hillsides of the island of Lidingö in Stockholm. According to the logic of Kapla, we started out spatializing the programme by stacking wooden blocks - where the interior rooms because of their number, square footage or potential views demanded it, blocks would cantilever, resulting in a number of randomly protruding volumes. A combination of sustainable design, heavy insulation and clean-tech also make Villa Kapla a low energy house.
