Architect-designed wooden villa on Gotland with grey spruce cladding.
Designed by Nordiska Kök, the oak kitchen features minimalist cabinet doors in a dark brown finish, allowing the natural grain of the wood to subtly show through. Above the kitchen is a loft with space for a bedroom.
On the island of Gotland, architect Martina Eriksson, founder of the architectural firm m.arkitektur, has designed a wooden villa that appears to be nestled into the island’s natural landscape. With its weathered grey façade, the house feels as though it has always belonged there.
The villa is reminiscent of the barns or fishing sheds in the area with its steep roof pitch and its weathered wood.
In the middle of the room stands the beautiful fire place, which creates a room divider as well as becoming the center of the room.
The beautiful stain highlights the grain of the oak and creates a nice contrast to the light painted walls.
The roof is open to the ridge and makes the room feel airy and bright.

“By carefully integrating the building into the existing vegetation, it creates the impression that it has stood on the site for many years and belongs to the wider landscape, not just the plot itself.”
The house has been carefully integrated into the surrounding landscape, giving the feeling that it has always belonged there.
The building actually consists of three buildings that are all linked and together form a U-shape. The different parts can be heated separately, assume different temperatures when the entire home is in use, or not heated at all if only parts of the home are in use.

Natural materials, mainly wood, in both houses and furniture.
– The building features a naturally weathered grey façade of spruce panels, treated using a method that allows the wood to develop its silvery-grey patina within just a few weeks. Combined with the way the building is nestled into the existing vegetation, this reinforces the impression that it has always belonged to the landscape – in both time and place, says Martina.
Garden design by Tina Råman.
Villa Magnergård has a clear closed side to the surrounding streets with the "wild", natural vegetation that mostly consists of wild apples, junipers and sloes. However, the garden is more private, has shade, privacy protection and is more organized but still with natural plants.
